[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Fun at the Movies

[Valerie Flowe]

Cuaron really is an artist. The color palette in POA was so visibly 
different from the first 2 films. It helped shift the movies/books from 
kiddie movies to the darker, more sinister direction that JKR was 
heading into, and continued throughout the rest of the books.
If you've seen Children of Men, which was also directed by Cuaron, and 
I believe he won an award for(?), the palette is very grey and cool, 
which gives that feeling of apocalyptic despair. He's a genius (even 
though, yeah, he seemed more interested in visual details than 
following the story that JKR had laid down)
