Heh, well, I just saw the movie again yesterday, so this is a good time for
this question. :)

First of all, I have to admit that I am, regrettably, a latecomer to HP
fandom.  I didn't read the books for the first time until last November.  I
suppose it was because of the movie, simply because HP was pushed in front
of my face again.  I'd heard about the books off and on and come close to
reading them a number of times, and honestly, I can't tell you why I didn't.
Seems downright ridiculous at this point...I could have had YEARS of
obsession rather than just months! ;)

So anyway, I may not be the best person to answer this, but here it is
anyway.  Daniel is *definitely* my Harry.  (One slight bitch tho - they
REALLY need to find a way to make his eyes green in the rest of the movies.
If it wasn't such a HUGE point in the books, I could deal better.  But we
all know it is.  Daniel, get used to the contacts sweetie. /bitch)  Rupert
is my Ron, tho I hope he gets a growth spurt soon.  Emma is not *quite* my
Hermione, prolly because I identify so much with Hermione and I'm not as
cute as Emma, but she's close enough that I like her.

I totally agree with what you said about the Quidditch scenes.  I also had a
hard time picturing them from reading the books, and the special effects for
that part were just incredible.  The Quidditch game is one of my favorite
parts of the movie, and I can't wait to see more Quidditch in future movies.
I will never find that boring.
