[HPFGU-Movie] Did I Imagine it? - Spoilers

[June Ewing]

> Cat:
> There has been a lot of discussion about NOT seeing Fred get

June:
Yes, I saw the same thing.

> Cat:
> Also, the girl that Greyback was ravaging (that Hermione
> killed..yea!) was it Lavendar Brown? I think it was and I think
> that Ron should have reacted ... maybe even saying "Oh No" sadly.

June:
Yes, it definitely was Lavender. It could be that with all the
commotion Ron didn't notice who it was. I was thinking about that
myself because if I remember right, I thought in the book that he
only mauled Lavender and that she survived.

> Cat:
> One would think that Voldemort would have learned after 2 failed

June:
That guy just does not learn, does he lol.

> Cat:
> Things I missed in the book to movie translation:

> time.

June:
Where I agree that they should have included Dumbledore's friendship
with Grindelwald, Dumbledore didn't kill Grindelwald. He defeated
him, there is a difference. Grindelwald was in a wizard prison (not
Azkaban, I can't remember the name of the prison) and Voldemort went
to him to find out where the elder wand was. Voldemort killed
Grindelwald. I would have liked to see them explain about Ariana.
Anyone who did not read the books have no idea about her and there
was no explanation as to why Dumbledore's father killed those
muggles.


> Cat:
> 5. The MOST SHOCKING, infuriating and STUPID failure of the movie
> ... WHY DIDN'T THEY MAKE LILY'S AND HARRY'S EYES THE SAME!!!!!!
> (very simply it could have been done with CGI) It is even mentioned
> TWICE in this movie! Mentioned in EVERY movie and numerous times in
> the books. It was such a shock seeing the close-up of young Lily
> with brown eyes! ... We have been teased over TEN years with this
> simple little fact and at the last moment THEY LIED TO US!

June:
True the actress playing Lily as a child didn't have the same eyes,
but the actress playing her as an adult did.
