Jen here,
I am seriously considering what my options should be, rent it? Buy 
it? I regret I didn't see it on a big screen but, at the time, I had 
what seemed much bigger fish to fry. My daughter came home horribly 
disappointed (follows along with your initial reactions) and so I 
bagged it. I can't believe it either because I was so loyal. So, I 
will be seeing it. I just love Daniel's portryals in these many films 
but I know he's been limited by scripts that make only occasional 
sense (if you haven't read the books. I really object to films that 
are dependent on a fan base to fill in the blanks. Harry deserves a 
coherent script regardless of whether you've been able to read the 
books!)

Jen again,
I picked "Susan" because I mistakenly believed she would have an 
interesting role to play, back in 2003! And she was a recognizable 
character in the films. Little did I know the girl who played her was 
Chris Columbus' daughter! With Cuaron, she had to go, of course. And 
so, rightly or wrongly, I have a minor character as my pen name! 
There's something to be said for having an independent identity!

Thanks MusicalBetsy! I hope I'll have something to talk about, au 
currant, that is, fairly soon.
