3rd viewing, some observations, likes & dislikes

[huntergreen_3]

>>You know, I looked thru the book and Padfoot is never described as 
more than enormous or black dog. Personally, I didn't get the 
impression of him being bear-like while I was reading it, so I guess 
that just goes to show how everyone sees something different while 
reading. He seemed fine to me in the movie ;-)<<

I knew I didn't imagine it (for a second there, I thought I did...), 
I remember specifically looking at the drawing in the US edition and 
being disappointed by it. Chpt 20, Pg 381: 
"As the werewolf reared, snapping its long jaws, Sirius disappeared 
from Harry's side. He had transformed. The enormous bearlike dog 
bounded forward."

I thought he looked fine, he looked real enough, I just can't stand 
it when movies use CGI when they don't have to. I'm holding out hope 
that in the next movie, when there's no heavy stunts for Sirius the 
dog to do that they use an actual dog. But I suppose they might stay 
with the CGI just for continuity.
