While I never worried about the Death Eater costumes, I assumed they
would get that right; if nothing else then just plain hooded robes,
but I did worry about the masks. I've never been able to accurately
picture the mask clearly in my mind, which is rare because I think I
have a very clear picture of everything else. I thought Lone Ranger
Masks, Phantom of the Opera masks, Batman masks, but nothing quite
fit. But I was awestruck when I saw the DE masks; brilliantly done,
and very scary. 

My quess is that they went away from specter-of-death hooded robes,
which in more what I though of, to the more KKK-like because the
specter-of-death robe hides so much of the face you wouldn't have been
able to see the masks. Really, those masks were really freaky, and it
look as if each one was different.

Overal an very good movie with brilliant performances by the primary
characters. Dan, Emma, and Rupurt really are tremendously more
engaging and believable. Further I was especially impressed with
Vikror/Stan, I though he had trememdous stage presents, and captured
Viktor very well. Lastly, I was very pleased (and scared) with Ralph
Finnes portrayal of Voldemort. We very much sense his underlying
frustration, and more so, his underlying evil.

Just a few thoughts.
