Hasn't Chris Columbus done exactly what he was tasked to do?

 Just because someone has different opinion than you on a subject, 
does not mean that they haven't examined it as thoroughly as you 
have... 

 It just means they have a different opinion. ;-)

 I'm under the opinion that I'd rather see a director stray from the 
rigid formula of the book, to the benefit of what's on screen, than 
to do a "by the numbers" straight adaptation with no creativity, 
imagination, or spirit...

 I am a true Potter fan (from back when they were first released 
here in the States) and I would also like the see the same passion 
and "spirit" of the LOTR trilogy (thus far) injected into the Harry 
Potters movies.... I have also loved Tolkien's books from when I was 
12 years old. 

 Don't speak for all of us.
