Movie VS Book and OotP Siri thrown in (was: Never again)

[Saitaina]

Alright, here's a question since we all
have varying opinions on the movie...

Would how much you love the novel
version of PoA effect how much you like
the movie?  I've seen those that LOVE
the book that really hated the movie,
and those that honestly didn't like the
book, who loved the movie...so is it
the difference between the media, the
way the story's told, or just really
freaky odds?

For myself, I honestly don't like PoA
the novel.  For some reason it urks me
(OoTP and CoS are my top faves right
now).  I read it when I have to remind
myself of plot, but otherwise, I
generally go from CoS to GoF when
re-reading the series.

So maybe it is the difference in visual
representation that makes me like the
movie...because I suddenly like Sirius
a lot more then I did before (I wasn't
upset about his death until after the
movie).

Speaking of Sirius, before OoTP, he
didn't seem that unstable to me, but
after OotP I saw more of what Azkaban
did to him, am I the only one?  Is this
just because we didn't see much of him
through three and four or did I just
completely miss that he's a few Knuts
short of a galleon?  I know he's always
been slightly...off but in OotP he was
a bit more then slightly.

 No story that starts with 'going down
on someone' and ends with a trip to the
ER can ever be good.

bloody way. And I'll still be having a
better day than I am today."
