mae now:
You're right about her having a big role, especially in the beginning.
 But I really don't like them changing the tent scene.  I guess I'm
just too hooked on the books.  I don't like them varying too much from
them.  I liked the 3rd movie, I do think it was well done for the most
part, but I really do not like when they wonder from the book too much
(ie.  the hunchback: HP humor is not campy or gaudy, Harry sneaking
magic at the beginning to practice, etc.)  I guess I shouldn't assume
too much from that one little scene in Gof that may even end up on the
editing room floor.  I guess they do have to condense a lot into a
short time (hopefully not too short).  I really do love Hermione.  I
just want the focus to be on Harry.  I don't mind if they have to
change the books a little so that the movies make sense, as long as
they keep the essence of the books.

I know what you mean.  I remember being surprised they hinted at it in
the CoS movie too.

Hard to put it down, even when you're rereading it, isn't it?  When I
read it again, my husband told the kids, "we've lost your Mom to HP
again".

books)
