Well, I didn't like "Interview..." when I saw it the first time (now I think
it's quite good but not as good as the book). And the Harry Potter movie...
I will still picture some things like I see them now, but Prof. Snape is
already looking like (younger) Alan Rickman in my imaginaion (but I adore
Alan Rickman, so go figure <g>). Snape should be in his late thirties, just
like Lupin and Sirius (just a great vintage, right?) and AR is 54!
I'm also afraid that the special effects won't look *real* real and that
really would spoil things for me. Im not a big SFX Fan but I really WANT to
believe that they are sitting on their Broomsticks, zooming around. That's
why I'm quite worried about Hagrid and Hedwig, if they won't look real it's
a pity.
