Interesting...I didn't think POA was edgier at all.  In fact, it seemed
rather flat when compared to the feel of COS especially during the
fighting-the-basilisk scene.  I can only hope that GOF brings back more of
the edge as well as the magic. :-)

Like I said, the DVd was my first viewing of the movie.  Perhaps it's better
this way; if I had watched the movie in the theater, I might have hesitated
to get the DVD or, at least, waited till the rush died down. :-)

Anyway, I'm off to get some coffee and pumpky pie.

Oh--yeah--anyone notice how thoroughly the "Aunt Marge's Waltz"
parallels/mimics Rossini's "The Thieving Magpie?" It's a real hoot!

Cheers,

Lee :-)
