[HPFGU-Movie] Mr. Crouch's death (Was: Getting it right in the films)

[Missy Gallant]

See I came at it completely differently.  I just
thought the director was basically clueless.  He
thought it was "cool" for Harry's scar to hurt when
there was danger around.  Any danger- not just Voldy
danger.  So, he had Daniel grab his head.

I think he also has a "thing" for dragons.  Perhaps a
large collection of Pewter ones sitting on shelves in
his bedroom. Which is why were we subjected to such a
ridiculously long dragon scene.  He didn't read the
book, or he'd know that since there was a penalty for
damaging the eggs, killing the mama would be an even
larger penalty and there's just no way Harry would
score well in that competition.  He also removed ALL
of the cool background magic- like the moving
pictures, or even in POA the stuff in the Leaky
Cauldron was super cool.  But this movie had NONE of
that.  Just a stupid long Dragon scene.

And the tongue thing- I never caught that Moody did it
too.  I just thought that the stupid director was
trying to get us to see the snake connection- you know
because us publics are stupid and need stuff pointed
out to us.
