Then, when he's trying to get Buckbeak away from Hagrid's hut and 
he's going.. "ok buckbeak?  C'mon Buckbeak Ok? OK? OK?"  ARGH!!! Is
that his lack of experience?




The scene that makes me cringe the most: 

The scene right after the Fat Lady breaks the wine glass and Harry
crosses the common room.  It's as if someone had given him the line, "
Banter, banter, light banter, now cheerful smalltalk and light
banter..." This, of course, leads into the scene with the animal-sound
candies which, although a cute idea, is so terribly done it makes me
want to put a sack over my head for the rest of the movie.

But I can't forget to mention *every* time Tom Felton mugs at the
camera.  I feel like I'm watching an episode of Laurel and Hardy,
forgodsakes!  I don't blame the kids for these awful scenes, by the
way.  I think the blame has got to be the director's. I can't believe
he never said, "Uh, Draco, perhaps you could take it down a notch or
two...or three."

And to think : those scenes were the best of the bunch. The *really*
bad ones were left on the cutting room floor!
