Could the Movie be this bad?

No: HPFGUIDX 9088

I dreamt last night that I went to the premiere of the Harry Potter
movie, and the inaccuracies were horrendous.  The things that I
remember:

-- Harry was blonde and had no glasses and no scar
-- Hermione looked like a Barbie Doll
-- Dumbledore was played by Brad Pitt in a Santa suit
-- Quirrell had no turban -- Very long hair hid Voldy's face
-- The Norbert episode was cut entirely
-- Quirrell got past Fluffy using a "full-body meltdown" curse
     (Hear the Time-Warner moguls say, "Hey, we gotta have
       *some* blood and guts!")
-- Sirius and Lupin showed up at the end and give Harry the
     Filebolt a little early

I think this dream was provoked by the rumors on the Harry
Potter newsgroup that Hagrid's house will be made of (fire-proof)
stone and that the trophy room features a plaque for Special
Services to the School awarded to a T. M. Riddell.  But
*could* the film be *this* bad??
