SSSusan:   Does this bother anyone besides me?

It bothers me. They're butchering the series.  Either do it right or quit.

SSSusan:"If she's not in OotP, then I think I'll join Entropy in the
Royally Fed up with the Movies Camp. The 12 GP scenes, esp. those
between Molly & Sirius, are vital to understanding Harry, imo.

Then again, I would've thought the hug was, too, though I'll admit
that conveying to the audience the information that this was his first
"parental" hug since 15 months of age might've been difficult. I sure
hope they're keeping the scene itself, though, as it's where Hermione
snatches Bug!Rita, where Snape sees Sirius transform, etc."

It'll be worse than Azkaban in that everybody and everything just
whizzes by.  Someone complained that Maggie Smith only had a cameo
part in PoA; I thought *everybody* except the Trio and Lupin had a
cameo part.

I agree completely that the hug scene is essential.  At the very least
I wish they'd film it and have a "director's cut" edition. Uh, maybe
not "director's cut."  How about "fan's cut?"

It's drive-by moviemaking. Phooey.
