I do think that she wouldn't let anything in that was against the  
main story.  Otherwise, she wouldn't have told them that it was a bad  
idea not to have Kreacher in the movie at all.  She's also been  
pretty forthcoming about that particular character and what happened  
to him. Didn't mean to step on your toes. I like discussing small  
details too, but I didn't think that one was in contention.

Man, I loved this movie. I thought they did a great job cutting the  
story down. This is actually my favorite book of the series and I  
don't envy them having to convert it to the screenplay. But they did  
a great job. They focused on the main story and how. I thought the  
way they handled the connection with V wonderfully and it worked SO  
well in the final battle at the ministry.

I did have to laugh at Aunt Petunia's little costume. That was just  
hysterical. I LOVED the fact that they focused on how hot it was in  
the opening scenes. That is something that pervades the opening of  
the book and it pervades the opening of the movie too.

I'll wait to say more until more people have had  a chance to see it,  
but I could have sat through it immediately all over as soon as it  
was over.  I'll just have to wait and go see it again this weekend.  
I'm all for David Yates now and I really wish he could swing the  
whole rest of the series because it would be really nice to have  a  
single style for the rest of the installments.

Oh, and boy that soundtrack ROCKS.
