Yeah I guess the story was not exactly original but, some good acting all 
around.  I really enjoyed the action, very dance like movements..like 
fencing. I thought that aspect of it was interesting.

The same way I love to watch movies like Crouching Tiger and House of Flying 
Daggers.  These actors are truly talented.  They are the Fred Astaires of 
the new generation.  Actors who can act and dance/fight.   I'm not saying 
Keanu is in any way a part of this group..I just think some actors are very 
gifted physically..it's hard work.  Someone like Chow Yun Fat..the things he 
does on film are very hard and he is an excellent actor (not to mention the 
fact that these hong kong actors have to learn to speak english as well)

A bit of a tangent I know.

There are many people I would love to recast in the HP movies.  Alas, it is 
not my private world to control. :)

I love Emma Thompson, just adore her, but I don't think she was all that 
great as Trelawney.  I pictured someone totally differnent.  Thinner, more 
bug eyed and whispy.
