I asked my niece, 13, today how she liked POA. She read SS years a few
years ago, struggled and did not read the rest yet and she liked the first
two movies. Her initial response, typified 13 year old, was non committal.
She then asked me if I had seen it and upon revealing that I had, she stated
that she didn't like it. I asked her why and she pointed out the
freeze-frame ending first (I have trained her well). She then explained
that she found it hard to follow, that it jumped from point to point. I
asked her if she understood where the Marauder's Map came from and she had
no clue, she noted that she wished Harry would have asked Lupin. I asked
her about the dorm scene, she responded that she didn't understand what it
had to do with the movie, although it was funny. She did like the vistas
but didn't understand the tree scenes. She didn't get the Firebolt scene
and said that it was randomly tacked on with no plot connection. She then
asserted that she didn't like Daniel's acting at all, she thought Ron was
excellent. She finds Hermione's character annoying (13-year-old girl
stuff).
Is this typical of non-canon readers? Remember she had no book to compare
the movie with.
