Saraquel called bs:
Woa Bumbledore - if we're trashing the films then it's PS and CoS 
that got me.  At least with PoA they ditched the vomit making 
sentimentality of the first two films.  Was I glad they changed the 
director.  I thought PoA was a much better film and more true to the spirit of the books, which in the end, IMO is all a film adaptation 
can hope to be.

The first two films were completely ruined for me by the totally 
unnecessary, completely unconvincing reaction shots.  It took PoA to show me that Daniel Radcliffe can act at all.  Once I'd seen it I 
went back to the first two movies and realised that when he was 
allowed to act, he didn't do too badly (although I've never thought 
he was great in the part).  I realised it was the direction that was at fault - Radcliffe was forced to smile sickeningly into the 
camera, or put on a puzzled look, so often that if you cut them out 
you'd reduce the length of the film by half.

 

Kemper now:

CHEERS!!! Saraquel, cheers!  You couldn't be more right... except thinking that Radcliffe can act (the scene in the snow after he discovers, wrongly, Sirius killed his folks: I'm embarassed for his acting coach) But we all have our quirks.  Though you're dead on with him being (in)appropriately cast.

 

I watch the trailer almost every day.  It looks way cool and true to the spirit of the story.  So should be a good adaption.
