(with lots of snipping here and there...)
>>Snow replies:
I fealt the same way you did and possibly worse! I had to laugh at
your last statement because that is exactly what I did, although it
was Sorcerer's Stone for me, in an attempt to stop the pain in my
head. It did help to visit the *real* Hogwarts again.
Now Entropy:
For those of you who are still reeling: a SS/COS marathon can do
wonders! I feel much better now.
>>Shirley:
>Secondly, what's up with Fudge having what looked like an office in
the Leaky Cauldron?????
Now Entropy:
Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. Guess that pea soup at the decrepit
Leaky Cauldron was just so yummy that he decided to move right in!
> 9. Boggart Class: Harry actually gets up to the boggart and it turns
into a dementor. *Then* Lupin steps in. Later, Harry asks him why he
stepped in, and Lupin said he was afraid Harry's boggart would take
the form of Voldemort. But it was already a dementor! Aargh!
>Shirley:
Oh! That made me *so mad*!! Yep, I don't think Cuaron read the book
(or maybe it was Kloves that didn't read it - isn't he the
screenwriter?). At any rate, I can't believe JKR didn't step in and
say "Uh-UH, that's not the way it goes." Another thing for the guy
next to me to groan at (and me right along with him)....
Now Entropy:
*I* can't believe that WB didn't require Columbus to keep a closer eye
on things to ensure that Cuaron stuck to the formula a bit more. I
understand the whole artistic license/director's vision thing but, by
the same token, if you've got a formula that's working, why mess with
it? When I visit the Potterverse, I have some expectations that his
surroundings will look a certain way, important plot points will be
hit, and Fred and George will not be forced to wear Greg Brady's
hand-me-downs.
> 10. Flitwick: WTF was that?
Huh? I don't remember seeing Flitwick at all, unless you're thinking
of the guy directing the Bullfrog Choir
Now Entropy:
Don't remember if he directed the Bullfrog puppets (blech), but
Flitwick was the very small man with the jet black hair and mustache.
Like Flitwick discovered Nice 'n Easy.
