You know, you are right. All kinds of things were cut before. I 
personally thought that the editing of Book 2 was right on target in 
many ways. Long development isn't always necessary. It's just that 
Book 3 is different. It's Harry's first shot at embracing all kinds 
of feelings. And there's character development further down the line. 
The twins, and Wood, most particularly become fuller. Moments of 
triumph are neat. I know we won't see the winning of the Cup. I have 
just read rumors about the existence of Quidditch and they make 
sense, if you are not having either team captain back. I don't care a 
fig for Flint. I care what he represents. I worry too that Cuaron may 
have a very different take on Harry, especially since his last film 
made such a splash and was so provocative. I personally am not ready 
for "Harry and your mama too." I am not a petition waving kook. I 
just have this Harry and company running around in my brain and am 
hoping that somehow he gets up there on the screen. I am beginning to 
think, and it's a bit of a shock, that Sorcerer's Stone may yet be 
the best interpretation we get.
