I have seen CoS way too many times to admit to anyone and I sit there 
mesmerized by Harry, the castle, the Great Hall, Harry (but that's 
another post for another time). I can only crack it up to the power 
of the visual. To see Harry Potter up there, even uttering lines that 
would make Clint Eastwood proud, it is thrilling. Are we saps or 
what? My question (and I do have one....) is this: Can Cuaron better 
capture the spirit, (and maybe more of the complexity) of the books? 
Is he somewhat trapped into doing the thing in the way it's been 
started Will it hurt the franchise if he goes off into a different 
direction or is that even possible anymore? There, that's the 
question I am been working on. You all are much more in the know than 
me, tell me what you think....
