Don't get me started on Emma Watson.  At some points in POA, she was
definitely 
good.  But she is still not consistent.  I can't stand her "ancient
runes" speech on the way to COMC.  I was happy she improved though.

[from Valerie]
I think all the kids improved this go 'round.
Particularly good Ron lines that I recall:
"You went all rigid; We thought you were having a fit or something.....
I felt like I'd never be cheerful again"
and of course, the tap-dancing spider dream is too, too cute!

Hermione
I love how she slaps Harry's hand as he reaches for the time-turner. And, in
her defense for those who thought she was too Super Woman in POA; she does
show a lack of foresight when Harry asks how they will rescue Sirius and she
replies "No idea!"; then, as the werewolf is galloping towards them, she
says "Oops, didn't think of that!"
And yes, I do think she needs to work on the timing of her delivery
(example: "Ow, Ron, that was my foot"; ill-timed and why did they put that
in there? Yes, it was in the book; but rather irrelevant, IMO, in regards to
more important stuff they left out.
When she jumps to Ron's defense in front of the Shrieking Shack, before
Malfoy calls her a filthy little mudblood
And yeah, I think her laugh is a bit fakey during the ancient runes speech.

Harry
The one line that bugged me due to ill-timing was when the train stops, Ron
asks why and Harry replies "Dunno, maybe blah blah blah" Can't recall exact
words, but it almost seemed like this was the first scene they shot for POA,
and he was a bit rusty?
Love the whole Patronus practice scene w/Lupin. Harry and Lupin talking so
honestly about James and Lily. The way they are sitting and interacting with
one another, etc. I think it's a very vulnerable and pivotal scene in the
film for Harry.
Even after 5 times I still get chills after his fantastic "EXPECTRO
PATRONUM!!!!" Very dramatic scene.
