[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Addressing Frequently Read and Heard Movie Criticisms...

[afolcfkajl at aol.com]

Well said.  I enjoyed the move immensely (I  have all five books  in hard 
cover and read the books prior to any of the movies coming out). When I  go to 
see a movie that has been adapted from a novel, I do not go in expecting  it to 
be a clone of said novel. As long as it stays true to the spirt of the  novel, 
which IMHO POA did, I could care less if it parrots everything in the  novel.

Marauders background is vital to the plot.  In fact, I have never 
seen a good literary adaptation that  contained all of the 
information that was in the book - that's why  English teachers 
always tell their students that they can't get  away with just 
watching the movie.
