Okay, yes, there are many things diffrent from the books then the movies,
that is why, one is a book, the other a movie :)

First off, Harry's hair.  Yes I agree they could have just died his hair
black and been done with it, but I do think that the bigger problem is the
weak attempt at tousled hair.  This kid (Harry) couldn't get his hair to lie
strait if he tried, so WHY is it evertime we see him, it is either strait,
or only a few strands out of place.  Does the make-up personal not have
mouse?  After all, I'm not talking gel where the spikes could stand strait
up if we wished, or the shlack type of hairspray that could withstand a
nucular attact, just plain old mousse.  And it wouldn't be that hard to
achive said effect, Apply mousse to head, gently rub in, then ruffle his
hair like that annoying aunt you all know and love, add glasses and scar,
Voila!  Harry Potter.


Now many have echoed sentamints of hating that fact that Actor! Ron (or
Rupert) is shorter then Daniel.  Yes he's shorter, but he's the better
actor.  Meaning he's better then the other Ron's not Daniel.  I have seen
good actors, and I have seen REALLY REALLY bad actors in my day, and guys,
Rupert is GOOD.  Feel glad they overlooked his height and went with him then
someone whom fit all the requirments of playing Ron and got a really bad
actor.  Besides, by the time we get to the third movie he might grow to be
more then Harry.  I don't remember his height being an issue until GoF which
does happen to be smack in the middle of most adolesent male growth spurts.

Hermione's hair, is another real non issure.  They could have died it, but
besides the fact it would take forever to grow out again, I do think her
hair is brown, granded redish brown but we can't have everything we want.  I
rather like Emma as Herm and will defend her appointment until I find out
she really sucks, so far, that hadn't happened.    She's good at playing
Hermione and thats what we should be concerned with, not just her hair.  Now
if she were to go as orange blond as Felton, well then we can start
complaining :).

The stairs are motorized, that's why they look it.  I rather like the look
of them but I understand some of the problems.  My main problem is why are
the kids on it when it's moving, shouldnt' the stiars realize there are
people on it?  I know, it's a great effect in th movie, it shows the kids
seeing how the school is alive as they are, blah, blah, but still, I keep
picturing one of them falling off, mostly Neville since he's the clumbsyist.

Hedwig delivering the broom-Who wouldnt' duck in that moment?  This bird is
flying at you with is what is obviously a broom, ye're gonna duck.  I would
duck, many people I know would duck.  And although I'm more then sure I
would have been slytherin the second I put the sorting hat on, I don't think
that house had an issure of, Big bird, big broom, my head must move thinking
in that moment.


The hats-ARe the characters supposed to be wearing they're hats constantly?
I've always deemed it a special occation part of the uniform and obmited it
from my mental vision when reading unless it was spciffically mentioned.  Of
course, I obmit anything that makes a character look like a ninny mentioned
or not.

Now onto my favorite character-Draco.  Now I've got a problem with hair.  IT
DOESN"T MOVE!  I have not seen a lock of that kid's hair move in any scene.
Now, granted it's all slicked back and nice looking, but what 11 year old
uses enough hairspray and gel to make his hair resistant to a tornado?
Please for the love of god make-up people, lay off the shlack!

Okay, I think I've covered every relevent trailer topic I have an opinion
on, and now I shall go and get caffinee and re-read what an idiot I made of
myself.
