Potioncat:
I sat through a 3 hour "Pirates" movie the whole time wondering why 
WB wouldn't spend as much time on Harry Potter as Disney does this 
series.

Potioncat:
The movie makers aren't Harry Potter fans, are they? I mean, not 
really--and certainly not like us. I think they should have hired an 
Uber-fan as main consultant with Jo having an input. After all, I 
think in a HP contest, most of us could answer questions faster than 
she could!! OK, only the already in print information.....

As for the Snape scenes: the first movie was done very well, but ever 
since it's been down hill. Funny, the booksellers know who's 
important even if the movie makers don't.

Kathy: who hasn't seen the movie yet.
