[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Actors in HP movies

By the way, I don't remember JKR writting a comedy series..
if you want jokes, try Comedy Central on Cable TV.

I want a movie that is based on the books and follows the story line, not
that bunch of garbage we got in POA, which up to the time of the movie, WAS
my favorite book. Now its dead last. Heck, OOTP beats it hands down even
with that C___T of a "teacher" by the name of umbridge.
