I LOVED the way this movie stuck to the "spirit" of JRK's work -- 
throughout the story, JKR always stops to throw in some quirky 
little aspect of the WW (ie Neville turning into a canary, death-day 
party volleyball, puffapod seeds bursting forth when spilt, etc..) 
the list goes on; a series of bewildering, imaginative side-shows in 
the background of the main story.  THAT is one of the many reasons I 
love the series -- they are so enchanting and whimsical (albeit the 
more serious story in the forefront).  
This is the aspect of JRK's work that I think Cuaron did wonderfully 
(the talking shrunken head, Fat lady breaking the glass, singing 
frogs (even!!), whomping willow taking out the bird, spine shaped 
candles, etc)  yeah, they were mostly artistic license, but darn if 
these touches weren't entertaining -- or at least, I thought so!  
I'm actually rather sad to hear that Cuaron won't be directing the 
4th...i really liked his treatment (except for the few things...) of 
POA.
