didn't see any teartracks on Harry's face, so I consider that a "so-
so" scene. But I am more accepting of his nonreaction to finding out
that Lupin knew his parents. (thatdid bug me lots, before). I guess
the little wistful smile playing on his lipswas very a propos for
Harry's emotional state in POA. I loved the part when he
tells Lupin that he doesn't know if his memory of his parents is
real, but that it's all he has. (snip)
I loathed the crying scene. I can not, for the life of me,
understand why it was used in the state it was. The crying sounds
like a smurf or something. I can understand extreme anger at the
revelation of Black's role in his parents deaths but the tears don't
fit MovieHarry, even a Harry in deepest angst. He's British for
goodness sakes!! If this scene were constructed to demonstrate Dan's
depth and range, it failed. And then the question "Why leave it as
is?" Why put in the horrid crying sound? Without it, I could believe
he was seething under his invisibility cloak. Just didn't work.
