[HPFGU-Movie] Re: POA Trailer on Extra too!

[Kathleen McClain]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I love the creativity the movies bring to
the stories, but this creativity should remain within the general paths
and spirit of the books. I was not upset or shocked by the aspects of the
trailer that do not appear to be straight from the book. I was just
seeking some affirmation that what I saw contained some things that is not
in the book. I think the movie will be great and will not disappoint. At
least not me.
