Just Saw OotP - Possible SPOILERS

[Katie]

Brand new to the OT list - though I'm an HPfGU regular. I had to join 
the OT list so I could talk about the film for a bit...

I just saw OotP last night and WOW. They finally got it right. Of 
course, much was cut out (I really missed seeing St. Mungo's, for 
instance), but they finally got the spirit of the book right and the 
characters were spot on, for the first time in 4 films. I walked out 
of the theater feeling like I had actually seen the WW for the FIRST 
time, instead of the wierd, stiff, Disney-fied version from the first 
4 films. 

Also, I have to say, Dan Radcliffe actually acted in this film, 
instead of making wierd faces the whole time! I thought he was great - 
and I really felt like I was looking at HARRY - not Dan Radcliffe as 
Harry. 

Of couse, there was much I wished had been included, but it's simply 
not possible to get all the details in there, and I really felt like 
they captured the feeling of the books. Huzzah!

It was altogether satisfying and I now cannot wait for the HBP movie!

And of course...only one week to go...Katie
