[HPFGU-Movie] where is the humor

[ArtsyLynda at aol.com]

I miss the humor from the book too, but I read somewhere that Rowlings 
insisted the keep "everything" that's in the books in the movie (all the 
sequences, action, everything that happened) and in doing so, the films have 
gotten very long -- and that's with the SHORT books!  ;->  Something had to 
be cut, and unfortuneately, some of it was the humor (if I were the 
screenwriter, I wouldn't cut ANY of Fred and George's antics -- I get a huge 
kick out of them!)  I also miss seeing Harry's humor, but overall, I think 
the filmmakers have done as well as can be expected with a hugely daunting 
task.  With Book 4 and 5 being so long, I can't imagine how they can get them 
done as one movie each -- it may take two to get all the action, all the 
"stuff that happens" in and to tell the entire story of each.  That's good 
for US!  More HP movies!  YAY!  And I sure hope they keep the same cast 
throughout -- I was just reading PoA and Dan has definitely taken over my 
prior mental image of Harry as I read -- I hear the dialog in his and 
Rupert's and Emma's voices now.  And I have no problem with them growing up.  
Our son was a shrimp until he hit 14 -- he grew 8 inches one summer (thank 
goodness it was summer so he was in shorts and we didn't have to keep buying 
new long pants!!)  ;->
