POA - Movie Review - Does Contain Spoilers

[Krissy]

I really feel the need to address this topic, because as a writer of 
fanfiction and also as a roleplayer it's a rather sore subject. I
sometimes appear curt when I write, so please take what I write with a
small grain of salt, because it may come across as insulting, and I'm
not trying to.  :)

 Why in the world would it worry you that the author of the series
that we all adore so much is happy with the movie? She is the one with
the insight into the characters. She knows their motivations, what
they feel, and what makes them tick. She knows how the series is going
to end, and she has a good idea of how to accomplish it in her next
two books. 

If she is happy with the movie, I think it's silly and selfish of
people to nit-pick the hardwork that many people have put into trying
to  visually create the world of Harry Potter. Just because it isn't
what -you- envisioned doesn't mean that it's wrong. 

I understand the frustration of seeing a beloved book shredded when
it's put on-screen (*note "Little Women" with Winona Ryder), and
everyone is free to their own opinion. If the author is happy with the
movie, perhaps we should try to look at it from -her- perspective and
maybe then we will see what JKR sees.

Repectfully,
