[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Kloves or Cuaron??

[Gretchen Crumpacker]

Jo's been quoted, though, as saying she loves POA.  Anytime a book is adapted into a movie, compromises have to be made and major factors cut, even if the author him/herself is the one writing the screenplay.  I think of John Irving's adaptation of his novel "The Cider House Rules" for the screen, which won him an Oscar.  Major parts of the book were cut, including a very central character, but it was necessary, and worked for the best.  That movie didn't feel the same way as the book, and probably POA won't either (I'm probably the only HP fan on earth who hasn't seen it yet), but you gotta do what you gotta do.  Just my $0.02.

I blame both Cuaron and Kloves. I think
they both had some really good ideas, but that they
also had a ________certain disregard________ for the world setup but
JKR in the books and by ignoring that have allienated
the fans. <<<

You hit the nail on the head here. I wonder what the majority of the HP fans
around the world really think. Personally, I would be really offended if I
was JKR.
