bboyminn:

Let's talk about that Ring, not from a magical perspective,
but from a physical perspective. I can't believe the person
who designed that ring has any knowledge of the Harry Potter
books at all. But even if the designer didn't, the producers 
and directors surely had. 

How could they come up with that pathetic ring, and expect it
to fulfill its role in the continuing plot? 

My grandfather has a rather common black onyx ring with a
square stone that would have been better than the ring they
created. 

Sure it was a cool looking ring, but where are the markings?
How can the plot proceed without the marks. There isn't even
any place on that odd shaped stone for the marks. I mean
really couldn't they have done better than that? The final book
has been out for a while now, they should know what is and 
isn't significant. 

I can understand the compressing the plot and eliminating 
things that are not essential. But, really, isn't the Ring
rather essential to the resolution of the plot?

All I can say is, what were they thinking?
