[HPFGU-Movie] POA for non-canon readers-- Spoilers

[Barbara D. Poland-Waters]

>>>From: Trevor [mailto:trevor-weiland at comcast.net]

I asked my niece, 13, today how she liked POA.. . .  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.

Is this typical of non-canon readers?  Remember she had no book to compare
the movie with.<<<

My husband (who is 3 times your niece's age) thought the movie was okay,
nothing spectacular. When questioned, he also didn't like the freeze frame
ending, thinking it was kind of cheesy. He followed the basic story okay but
didn't understand why Lupin knew that the map was a map. I could get more
opinions out of him, but he's sick of me taking about HP. He's NOT an
obsessed fan, like so many of us!
