*shudder* Agreed. And while they're at it, they could fire that 
Kloves guy. He has to shoulder some of the blame for lifting 
Rowling's work wholesale.

Some people seem to be of the opinion that all fans want is a 
straight translation, like a book on tape + video. I couldn't 
disagree more. Book adaptations require filmmakers with enough 
understanding of film to realize that books and movies are totally 
different media and should be treated as such.
