Double, double, toil and trouble...(Includes HP3 spoilers in case you live under a rock and haven't read the books....) ^_^
Yes, I saw HP3 on opening day! (w/ duorocks of course.) It was an awesome movie, but I think my cousin described it well when she said it was like the book on fast forward. They left out so much! I was a little disappointed to see no Oliver Wood (unless I simply missed him.) I also don't understand why they had auditions for Cho, because I didn't see her either. (not that I mind...*rolls eyes*) My only real casting complaint was Lupin. He's my favorite adult character, so I guess I was gonna be a little hard to please in that respect. (The guy who played him, played the villain in Timeline. I had a bit of trouble separating him from that character.) I was very impressed with Professor Trelawney. That woman was excellent! ^_^ Dan, Emma, and Rupert all performed very well (Harry, Hermione, and Ron are developing a bit of a love triangle...) O.O But what was with Malfoy's hair? Did anyone else think he looked a little too much like Eminem? >.<
I was pretty pleased that what they kept of book was usually pretty accurrate. Obviously, they had to add things sometimes to achieve the effect of some of the longer segments of the book. The entire sequence that was turned back by Hermione seemed a little different but not too bad. The Maurader's Map was way more complicated than I imagined it, but it was really cool. The dementors, luckily, weren't too cheesy. Though they looked an awful lot like Ringwraiths, huh? (That's Rowling's fault. They were such a blatant Tolkien rip off!) ^_~
I guess my only real complaint was that they whole thing went too fast and lacked some continuity with the 1st two movies. (The location of the Whomping Willow was completely different from #2.) Was anyone else surprised to go straight from Christmas to spring? I felt like I was being rushed. The movie could have been quite a bit longer and no one would have noticed. *shrugs* I guess we'll have to see if the DVD has any extra scenes. I really hope so.
To those who asked, yeah, The Rutles: All You Need is Cash is hilarious. If you like the Beatles and Monty Python, you'll enjoy it! To Kira, sorry if I sounded pissy about the cat thing. It wasn't intended in such a way.
*glances at clock* (3:38 AM) To everyone, good night!
