to be (even as Adults) slightly giddy at the potential scene in the DH movie of Harry and 
Hermione kissing in front of Ron?  Either I'm going to be nauseau(sp?) or I'm going to bust 
up in nervous laughter, or just because it was funny (although it wasn't funny in book 
because I thought Ron would snap and stab the real Harry).  Anyhow, I think Emma, 
Rupert, and Dan are going to have several words for that kissing scene because they all 
have to be there for it, or the final Hermione/Ron kissing scene because they all have to be 
there for that!  Emma and Rupert were nervous about the possiblity of kissing each in the 
final film, imagine her having to kiss both her costars?  I may fall out on the movie theatre 
floor!LOL

Judy:
Those poor kids. I always wonder about this when actors who are good friends in real life 
end up in romantic movies together.  I can't even imagine having to kiss or look 
romantically at any of my male friends - especially if they're married and I'm also friends 
with their wife!  I guess that's why they're actors and I'm not.

But, this is another storyline that I think might be dropped.  The whole "Ron's jealousy - 
love triangle thing."  They've downplayed most of the romance so far and I can see a 
director saying it isn't necessary to the main story.

Has anyone else noticed that the movies - this last one in particular - have tended to 
make many of the characters less complicated?  I suppose they have to since not everyone 
in the theater has read the books and they need to remove anything that might be 
confusing.  I'm thinking of Sirius, Snape, and Ginny

Examples:  

Sirius: I can't stand Sirius (sorry, sorry, sorry) mostly because of how immature and nasty 
he was in OotP shaming Hary for not being his father.  Well, in the movie, I just loved 
Sirius - what a great supportive and loving guy!  They didn't have time to delve into his 
complex emotional state and all his motivations since he's not the main character so they 
gave us a Sirius that supports the ending of the movie and the series.

Snape: Snape is a horrible jerk in the books.  He's still a jerk in the movies, yet kind of a 
lovable jerk.  Except for Neville, the students don't seem all that disturbed by his smacking 
people in the head and making sarcastic remarks.  It's kind of like "Yeah, he's a jerk, but 
he's *our* jerk."  This, I suppose, will play into his being DDM, although I don't know how 
the filmmakers could know that.

Ginny:  Where is "popular love'em and leave'em" Ginny?  We got "Strong-willed, yet still 
mooning over Harry" Ginny.  Again, I suppose her being kind of a Runaround Sue doesn't 
advance the main story.  This will make it simpler when they end up together in the next 
movie. I'll be disappointed though if they don't show her dating ANYONE before Harry.  I 
thought that was the whole point - she got over her celebrity-crush on Harry and that put 
them on equal footing in the relationship.

I'm curious to see what they do with Lupin in the last film since that one even threw off the 
avid series readers.   Actually, I think that whole thing will be written out also - just a brief 
mention - Hey, we got married.  Hey, we're preganat.  Hey, here's a picture of the baby.

I would have a terrible time adapting a book to the screen - I'd be worse than Peter 
Jackson.  All my movies would be seven hours long!
