POA Movie - view from a non-reader

[jeanico2000]

These are all good points that you make. My sister in law has not 
read any of the Potter books and followed the movie perfectly. No 
confusion in her mind as to plot points and what was happening on 
screen. She didn't miss what was left out of the book because, well, 
she just didn't know about it! Did it make things any less clear to 
her? Not in her opinion.
My husband and mother who are "read the book once" type of people 
enjoyed the movie immensely too, and my daughter and I who are "over 
the top/anything Potter we love, read and watch over and over again" 
type of gals just can't get enough of POA. The visuals, the acting 
(the scene in which Lupin talks to Harry about his mum and the scene 
in which Harry is trying to defend Sirius from the dementors by the 
lake are excellent examples of just how much Daniel Radcliffe has 
grown as an actor), the angst, the comedic touches, the sentimental 
moments... we are both completely enthralled with the finished 
product.
And, yes! the DVD will be in stores on November 23rd I believe!
