Amusing comment from Cuaron

[Scully931]

Nothing to do with you posting this - I'm speaking entirely of 
Curaon's comment... I don't think it's funny. I think he brought 
some good stuff to the film. But comments like this and like having 
the kids listen to hard rock music, etc. turned Hogwarts too much 
into real life. Same with the clothes. Ok, wearing regular teenage 
clothes into Hogsmeade I could deal with. I didn't like it, but I 
could deal with it. However, attending class half dressed with their 
shirts hangin out, ties undone, etc. just looked disrespectful. Do 
they have a dress code or don't they? I thought it took away a lot 
of the magic. I imagine Cauron's Hogwarts to be one where kids 
swear, where some use drugs, sneak alcohol into their dorms
 you 
know
 like every high school in America. We want to go to Hogwarts 
because it's different there. In being "edgy" Cauron let in the real 
world. It's as bad as when Disney World let in McDonalds.
