Loved the movie ! The pace was great, loved the reworking of the
story line to deliver a lean and very exciting story with all of the
central threads to the story maintained. Adored the patronus !!
But my take out on the foreshadowed story line relates to the early
scene with the Aunt Marge - and Harry's uncontrollable righteous
anger.
It seems to me that this scene sees him breaking glasses, lights
flickering on and off, blowing up his aunt from an apparent discharge
of magic , Are the swings and play equipment swinging wildly around
without reason or an aftermath of a large magical discharge from
Harry ? is it wandless magic ?
I noticed too, that Dumbledore slowed Harry's fall in Quidditch with wandless
magic. I'm certain Harry's wandless magic will come into play in the future,
and I think it will be a significant weapon against Voldemort. (Then again,
Dumbledore can do wandless magic, so maybe V can too??? Scary thought).
As for the patronus -- I was thrilled with the effect of it, but honestly, I
wanted to see that stag tossing the Dementors around with his antlers. The
shape of a wizard's Patronus is an important thing, in canon, although we're
never told the shape of Dumbledore's or Lupin's (curiously enough. . .).
I, too, wondered why the playpark equipment was moving, and wet. It didn't
look like it had been raining when Marge flew out the patio door (I like the
sun porch the Dursleys had added since the last movie, didn't you? ;->). Since
it was wet, and it almost looked like you could see Harry's breath when he
was sitting on the curb, I wondered if there were Dementors around somewhere --
still do. Any thoughts on why it was suddenly wet outside? Do you think
Harry did that too?? And why was his breath making steam just for an instant
there (although I do remember reading it was chilly when they filmed that scene --
the "between scenes" photos I've seen online show Dan in a heavy coat, so
maybe his breath showing was just a natural phenomenon, not something important
to the film).
I dunno why Sirius chose to bark at Harry, if he just wanted to see him. He
did look like he was snarling, too, which would not be in character unless he
really was a Grim. Interesting inconsistancies. Wish we could get Kolves and
Cuaron to answer these questions for us!!
