I may be 
just a sap, but I actually got a small lump in my throat at the pure joy that 
Harry exhibited at the end - the kid deserved to feel like that and he took 
me 
right with him.

Cindy, I couldn't agree more.  The joyful scenes of Harry on Buckbeak and 
Harry on the Firebolt lifted my heart and made me want to fly with him!  I'd jump 
up on Buckbeak (with Harry driving, of course!!) in a heartbeat!

And Richard -- your post was eloquent and I enjoy reading all the things you 
point out whenever you write about film.  You know a lot more about film 
making than I do, and I learn something in nearly every post of yours, so please 
don't disappear into the ether -- stay and fill our noggins with more good stuff 
about cinema!  I, too, came to the Potterverse after seeing the first movie, 
then the second one, and THEN reading the books a year and a half ago (and 
many many many times since then!!).  The actors in the film speak in my head when 
I read the books.  So maybe part of the problem with those of varying 
opinions is that they came to Harry's world via the books first, where those of us 
who are fans of the film may have come to Harry via film first, I don't know.

Keep those posts coming, Richard!
