I was more than satisfied with SS and CoS (more so with SS, but I 
think mainly because it was just so cool to see everything like 
Hogwarts and Diagon Alley for real).  They have their problems and I 
understand it is difficult to interpret a book into movie format and 
for all that they can be forgiven.  But PoA really left me feeling 
disappointed.  I will continue to see the following movies (and 
praying that they get it right next time) but I cringe to think of 
what they will leave out next time.  Meanwhile I will be ardently 
hoping for a wonderful book #6 from JKR to soothe my aching soul...
