Charme now:

Hi alora! You're absolutely correct it was harsh - and obviously the windbag 
never read the books. Some things I just don't think you're going to *get* 
if you don't, know what I mean? :)  What bothered me most is his description 
of Daniel Radcliffe - I had to read it twice, then again out loud to my 
significant other to make sure my astonishment was warranted. Rex Reed 
usually doesn't get so...sooo...detailed about someone's appearance that 
way. Especially not a youngster.

I can see why you wouldn't take your daughter - in fact, the guy next to me 
in the theater said quietly to me during the graveyard scene (we'd chatted 
before the movie started and he'd professed to be an HP junkie too) "Wow. 
Look at my son's eyes. He's not liking this at ALL." His son was 7 years old 
and almost on queue said, "Daddy, Voldemort is scary. I don't like 
cemetaries.  I'm going to cover my eyes." So, I can totally see your point. 
Scarier and darker, indeed.
