Half-Blood Prince

[wildirishrose01us]

I was hoping to see a more evil Snape. In the movies he just didn't 
do it for me.  He's one of my favorite characters in the books. I've 
read and listened to the books.  Jim Dale does a fantastic Snape on 
CD, Stephen Fry is just ok.

I imagined Bellatrix to be far different then she was in the movie.

I know that he's no in the HBP, but Dobby just irritated me.  In the 
book and in the movie. I took an instant dislike to him.
