Silly Harry (was running time & cover photo)

Cindy ...

"I also thought the cover pic looked cheesy.  There is something 
about the child who plays Harry that is just wide of the mark for 
me.  (In  contrast, R and H look spot on to me).  I think it is the 
smile.  He  smiles in a lot of his pics, even in the scene when he is 
showing Ron his scar.  I'm concerned.  Very concerned."

I agree.  That photo is not only cheesy ... it's actually very bad.  
Dan just doesn't look like Harry in it.  It looks wrong ... and that 
grin is very off-putting for a Quidditch match ... I think someone's 
already cracked the Cushioning Charm joke onlist, so will refrain 
from repeating it ... oops.

"Now, I have only seen stills and the web version of the trailer.  
So  can someone set me straight:  did they cast Harry correctly, or 
did  they err?"

Sacrilege!  Dan is absolutely perfect.  The boy is a complete natural 
and the ideal Harry ... except for me ... in my guise of 
8YearsYounger!Al ... damn ... no, don't damn, she's God, but make JK 
be mildly irritated by the fact that she didn't write the books in 
the early 90s.  Witness his David Copperfield if you don't believe me.

On an even happier note.  142 minutes?!!!!
*bounces out of the room, indescribably happy*
