[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Actors in HP movies

[Sherry Gomes]

Juli: Actually I think the books are kinda funny, some scenes had 
made me laugh so hard, like in the first chapter in GoF when they 
discribe the Riddle's bodies being completely healthy except for the 
fact that they were dead?

Sherry now:
I really disliked the third movie, because POA is my favorite book so far.
But on the topic of humor in the books, it is one of the things that
delighted me so much from the beginning.

The very first paragraph of the very first book, in fact the first sentence.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley were proud to say that they were perfectly normal,
thank you very much."

I burst out laughing, because I knew that had to mean they weren't very
normal.

And there are so many others.  The twins are always funny.  Peeves and
Umbridge.  Well, all the teachers and Umbridge.  McGonigal asking Umbridge
if she has a cold.

Harry and the invisibility cloak at the shrieking shack hitting Malfoy with
mud.

Oliver Wood's obsession with Quidditch.

And most of the ones you mentioned except for Snape and Neville.

I do laugh all the way through most of the books.  in fact, one of my
favorite humorous things in POA was left out of the movie, Sir Cadogan.  oh
he was a scream.
