Oh, I don't know Potioncat, of course movie makers are not like us, 
I think it is pretty hard to beat us in the *fan* department. But I 
think they had a pretty good idea of who is important in the story. 
<g>They kept a hold on Harry and his friends story perfectly, if you 
ask me.


Harry being angry all the time, Trio's friendship, care, support of 
one another - all of it was there.

The fact that Snape's nastiness was cut down, well I could not be 
happier about it on one hand, on the other hand that meant that he 
does not look as disgusting as he could in the books for me, lol.


But yeah, I could not be happier that Snape taunting Sirius was out, 
even though I always use to think that these two had great 
chemistry, LOL.

I could not be happier that Snape running his mouth at Harry was 
brought to bare minimum. YAYAY - poor Harry has enough on his plate, 
nice to see that in the movie he does not have to deal with Snape 
that often.

Rickman did a good job, no question about it and even I laughed 
about his contempt to Umbridge, but I would be so happy if this 
would be the extent Snape appears in book 7.


Now, I say one thing with Harry not diving into Pensieve, I REALLY 
was scratching my head why Snape stopped the lessons, since Harry 
did what he was encouraged to do. Wierd.


But sure, the only adult who had part bigger than others even it was 
small enough too was Sirius, I think. I could not be happier. Oldman 
and Dan together were amasing.

Too bad it was for the last time :(
