Hopefully, that's enough!!
 
>>Sirius was definitely alive in the book when he  went through the 
veil, fear and surprise in his eyes etc. I didn't watch the  movie 
yet, so I can't tell if you are right, but if you are, I don't like  
it either. I always thought maybe it was important that Sirius wasn't  
dead when he went through the veil.

That bothered me too, but then I realized, JKR HAD to approve that,  so that 
means the Veil isn't as strong a factor in book 7 as we thought it might  be 
(now we can remove it from the "clue" stack and shove it into the "red  
herring" stack).  But boy, when the whole screen went silent during Harry's  
screaming scene after Sirius died, the jam-packed theater did, as well, as  happened 
many times during the movie.  It was so cool to see the film with  such a 
reactive audience, all laughing, cheering or totally, eerily silent  through the 
whole film!

I was completely blown away by what they did with Ron's  character.  FINALLY, 
he's the heroic, loyal, solid friend shown in the  books instead of the goofy 
sidekick he's been in the films so far!  And  Rupert did a magnificent job of 
portraying every nuance of Ron's part.   Emma finally stopped wiggling her 
eyebrows to emote and started really  acting.  And Dan, dear Dan, my goodness, I 
was just completely astounded by  how well he did, and I've always loved him 
in the role!  But he got  EVERYTHING from the tender awkwardness of that kiss 
(which went on far longer  than MY first kiss, which was a simple nervous 
peck!) to the angst and anger and  terror and nightmares and everything.  Wow!!  
Can't WAIT to see it  again!!!
