I merely think that Rowling has decided to let Hollywood have its
way. Hollywood sees this movie as a 'Teen flick' and nothing more.
Why would they want anything such as conversation or explanation
to slow down the story. Get folks in, make them buy popcorn and
get them out is all that a movie is supposed to do.

Have you noticed that many reviews of excellent movies such as
the 'Queen' complain about the amount of conversation?

Besides, current movies are as the last three Potter films, are
gadget and effects laden messes? Who needs plot, story or continuity
when you can lovingly spend TWENTY minutes on marginal scenes such
as the 'Luna', 'Department of Mysteries', 'Flying to London',
and 'GRAWP' episodes. If each of these silly scenes had been cut,
more of the books plot could have been included. Sad.

Worse, they included scences not in the book, such as all the twins
talking to little Michael. Sigh.

This point is infact a continuation of 'Rowlings' decision to let
Hollywood have its way and is willing to take her money and run.

Anyway.

In my opinion for all their clunkieness, the first two movies were
the best. Both carried the plot into the movie and gave you a real
taste of the magical world.

The last three movies were Hollywoodized messes.
