That may be the case but this is the wizarding world we speak of so
perhaps there is a bit of formality there.  After all, Harry is far
from the normal british teen, ne?

My biggest concern about books to movie adaptations is that the
individuals choosen to play the characters do it RIGHT not so much
look like this or that or speak every line. I forgave the fact long
ago that Mr. Radcliffe's eyes aren't green but he does a good job at
being Harry.  Ms. Watson's hair isn't quite as bushy as it is in the
book, nor are her teeth big but she WORKS as Hermonie. And I was on
the "that's not how Sirus looks!" bandwagon for a while then just
stopped caring because I've seen him in action and know he can do
crazy criminal/tortured soul like Mr. Christopher Lee can do creepy
villian.
I was not disappointed and can't wait to see him in GoF and OotP!
