Movie Talk from OT site (was Carol's question to new Steve)

Zanooda:
I was wondering if it is clear from the movies alone that Harry's
Patronus is a stag, and why? The movie-makers stubbornly don't show
Harry's stag, even when they showed other DA members' Patronuses in
OotP. 

Potioncat:
Steve asked about the stag, Zanooda said it wasn't shown, Geoff (I 
think) said you could see it faintly. But it's been a while since 
I've watched any of the movies.

And that made me wonder, is anyone interested in a focused 
discussions of the HP movies? I was never active here back when the 
boards were busy, so I don't know if it's been done. But I thought it 
might be fun for everyone to watch SS/PS and then start discussing 
it. And when we wind down we would move to the next movie. We could 
just all start posting, or if the interest is there, we could have 
something like the chapter discussions at the main site. Maybe we 
could start next week, if there's an interest--that would give 
everyone time to watch the movie. Or maybe we could discuss how to 
carry out the discussions.

For the movie-only fans, we won't tell you to have a second slice of 
pie --I mean, we won't tell you that you just must read the books--
but many of us will bring our bookish opinions to our discussion. 
Much like we brought our knowledge of factual John Adams to the 
thread about the miniseries. Some of us really do want to know how 
the movie-fan sees certain plot points compared to how the book fans 
see them. 

So, shall we? When do you want to start? I'll bring the popcorn.
