Cera, 
I'm feeling the same thing, but not for the same reasons :)  So far, I've 
liked the pictures I've seen, for the most part.  As for the clothes, robes will 
be worn, as someone's already said, but some of the biggest parts of the movie 
(the Shrieking Shack had better be a significant length to cover all the info 
there!) are not during school hours.  I know some people are up in arms about 
it not being clothes of the nineties, but, let's face it, noone but crazy 
fanatics like us even realize it's supposed to be set in the mid nineties, so of 
course the director is using clothes that appeal to today's kids.

I really looked at the first two movies as eye-candy for the books, fun to 
see because the visualization was mostly just how I imagined, but not able to 
stand on their own as movies.  So now my worry...well, PoA is my favorite too, 
so the stakes are higher.  There are a lot of scenes I hold dear in this book 
and I *don't* want them messed with.  I also don't want the stuff I really love 
to be cut out.  I've been dying to hear Sirius say "Going to kill me, Harry?" 
and to see Harry whisper "Prongs," as his Patronus canters back to him (and 
*so many*other lines) but now I'm starting to think I won't get to and it's 
upsetting me.  I'd almost rather they didn't make this one.  I didn't worry about 
that really with the first two because I don't read them as much as PoA and 
GoF (and now OotP).

But one thing I would *LOVE* to see, I think WB should have a poster 
advertising PoA designed as a Wanted poster of Sirius Black. It would be So awesome :)
