Stories & Movies (was RE: Harry Potter and God)

[Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force)]

I'm changing the subject line here; we're way off the original one. :-)

[Lee (Earlier)]:

| interesting to see what they do with HBP.

| Kemper now:
| I agree with GOF, but it was also her worst book, I think.  I 
| believe she was writing it at the time where she was coming 
| to realize that Harry was bigger than her, so that has to 
| mess with anyone's head a bit.  I think it's why she took so 
| long with OP, adjusting and getting back in control of the story.

[Lee]:
Hmm--I liked GOF.  Harry was very human and both Art and I could relate to
his being a member of the Procrastinator's Club. :-)

What I didn't like in the movie were things like the way they handled the
First Task; it was a real waste of film, IMHO, and having Hermione remind
him of what to do while he was in the task just wasn't, if you know what I
mean.  There were other things, too, but I won't get into them.  I'll only
say that the waltzing Neville was another complete waste of film which could
have been devoted to the real story parts.

Again, just my opinion.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
