SPOILER AND Thank you too.

Having had a few days since seeing the film and done a post on it, I am now
much more decided.  I have a quibble or two but, ultimately, I really loved
it and will go again.  I am sorry that Tina thinks everyone has been
negative, count me out of that one dear girl and here's why!

I know I really liked it because.....  I still keep remembering things I
enjoyed, such as the classroom scene with Prof. McGonagall, beautifully
staged, animals here and there everyone looking like a proper school room,
the Prof starting to go around making everyone have a go at the spell (Ron
really shines!!).  Arthur Weasley, as GulPlum says, makes an all too brief
appearance, but he really is absolutely lovely and anyone would love a dad
like him AND want to live in a house like the Burrow.  The twins were
smashing and I wish they could be in it more.  I loved the flying car, being
a Ford Angular fan of long standing I found it a real hero in itself, and
adored the spiders (no really I DID......).  The one thing that few have
mentioned that I really admired was the Whomping Willow.  It is absolutely
awesome, and you really feared for Ron and Harry's lives at the time.

I adored Rupert, he did not strike me as doing his rubber faced bit too
much.  Faced with spiders a good 20 feet across I would look more or less
the same (maybe I did while sat in the cinema) and Daniel was, to me, a fine
hero and really came good in the Chamber itself, which I liked, after all
JKR gives it limitless space and leavesden is above a tube (subway) line....
Lucius Malfoy is splendid, brandishing his rather spectacular cane and Tom
Riddle reminds me of the old film matinee idols all smooth good looks and a
real bad 'un underneath, splendid stuff.

Where I think many are upset are where the spirit has been followed rather
than the word, if you get my drift.  So, rather than have umpteen quibbles
about upteen different bits, I can say, hand on heart that they would been
hanged if they did and hanged if they didn't do whatever they chose to do,
but I enjoyed it Tina 100% and will be going again (and maybe again and
again....)

> Hello everyone,
> I would like to sincerely thank those who took the extra time and effort
to write the negative reviews for the most anticipated movie of this season
(maybe even of this year?). Although I'm disappointed with a few of the
changes they've done that I've read here, I've gotten over them pretty well,
and I'm sure to enjoy the movie much more than if I hadn't known what the
changes were. Again, thank *you*!!! :)
