[HPFGU-Movie] Re: I LIKED IT (bracing for rotten fruit thrown)

I agree with you on this, even though I am one who didn't like the movie.
We cannot influence the author, nor should we.  If an author was that
fickle, then she could never see her own vision played out in her story.  On
the other hand, I don't agree with people who say those of us who don't like
the movie are second guessing the author or not being fair to her or
something like that.  after all, if you write a book, make a movie, sing or
write a song, paint a great picture, and if you present it to the world, you
expect and are hoping for the public to love it as you do.  If they don't,
you have to be strong in your belief of it, so that doesn't sway you.  On
the other hand, the fans, each have his or her own individual focus or way
of interpreting what they see or hear, and will either be with the creator
or not.  It's just the nature of creativity.  You present it to the world,
knowing that everyone will see it differently.  Those who love and those who
don't like this movie, have legitimate feelings, because it's all in what
the individual is seeing or getting out of it, what they bring to it.  Both
sides have said they love this book, so we all had expectations.  some were
met, some were not.  It doesn't make any of us wrong.  we just have
different opinions.

Ok, that's all too deep.  sorry about that.  I bet JKR would love all this
debate, if she was to read it all!  She seems to like knowing how much
theorizing and friendly arguing goes on over her creation.  after all, if
we're all talking about it, we must be loving it!

On JKR, this is her favorite film of the three.

As for listening to the fans...Which ones?? The ones who loved it, 
hated it, or loved parts and hated parts??...

The rest of what you had to say sounded great (despite the fact that 
I disagree) but this last part comes off as a brash generalization.
