DH Movie Speculation

[stephab67]

Steph:
I'd love to see Cuaron come back. 

Valerie (responding to someone who said that the idea of Cuaron coming
back was 'repugnant' to her):
Ok, I guess I'm in the minority but I thought Cuaron did a beautiful 
job with POA, at least cinematically. Admittedly it was jarring from 
the bright green grasses of SS and COS to the rocky hills and muted 
colors. But it seemed so much more 'real' rather than a stage set, and 
it did set up for the darker tone of the books. I did hate the extreme 
chopping of the Marauders story as POA is my one of my fav books and 
I'm a huge Sirius fan. And I certainly could've done without the 
shrunken heads.

So IF Cuaron was to come back, then I think that JKR would need to 
really hold Kloves and Cuaron to the storyline and not let them
deviate with silly additions.

Steph:
I hold Kloves more responsible for the problems with the storyline
than Cuaron, because Kloves had already begun to create Moron!Ron and
Super!Hermione in CoS, and it continued into GoF, where even Harry
looked like he couldn't figure out anything for himself.  I caught SS
and CoS on ABC Family this past weekend (I don't have the DVDs for
either of them) and really noticed the change in Ron's character
between the two films, from being a courageous partner-in-adventure
with Harry, to someone who almost constantly freaks out. Why?  I also
don't understand why Sirius was almost completely cut out of GoF, as
it very much lessened the emotional impact of his reunion with Harry
in OotP. Something else that likely can be put on Kloves.

I do agree that JKR is going to have to keep Kloves on track no matter
who is directing.  Maybe Goldenberg's excellent characterizations will
have rubbed off on him.
