LOL again :-)! That's what I often think during some discussions, 
usually on the Main list :-). But, seriously, I only said I didn't 
like anybody because I found your "all the actors are perfect and 
everything is perfect" a little funny, and I wanted to answer in the 
same exagerated way :-).

I'm not jaded (whatever this means) against actors, I like all those 
actors, only not in HP :-). Especially Rickman is one of my all time 
favorites, and I would have been thrilled to have him as Snape, if 
only he was some 25 years younger! 

And of course, some characters are represented in the movies quite 
well. Not to like *any* character/actor in HP movies seems as 
unnatural as to think they are all *perfect* :-). Are you serious 
about this? Can't you think of anyone, anyone at all that you didn't 
like? Come on, you have to give me something :-). 

Let's trade - I'll give you a list of characters/actors that I like 
(or at least don't have a problem with), and you will give me at 
least one that you don't like. Here goes: McGonagall, the Dursleys 
(especially Vernon), Lucius and Hagrid (both are not how I imagined 
them, but I like them anyway), Lockhart (not as handsome as I 
thought, but oh well...), Molly and Arthur, Moody (again, not how I 
imagined him, but a good actor). 

I also liked Umbridge - kind of, because I admit that Staunton is a 
great actress, but she looks too nice for Umbridge (not toad-like 
enough :-)). I'm also of two minds about both Dumbledores :-). There 
are smaller parts as well - the rest of the teachers (except for ever-
changing Flitwick), Ollivander, Stan Shunpike, Cedric - all quite 
satisfactory in my eyes. 

As you can see, I'm not as hopeless as you may think :-), and this 
list is not complete - I must have forgotten someone. Now it's your 
turn - think of something you don't like in HP movies. There must be 
something - even in the movies that I absolutely love (LOTR, for 
example) there are things I would have changed :-).
