I loved POA as a book but i was left with an empty feeling when i watched the film for the first time.
Many people prefer POA to the first 2 films but i am the opposite. The first 2 films had that great fantasy and magical element that comes across so well in the books. Everything went modern and strange in the 3rd film from the setting of the school and the grounRAB to the dress code.
Seriously, though. Could you not see it before between Sevvy and Narcissa? I love that chapter.
Is Dumbledore your favourite character? I must say I felt heart sorry for Tom Riddle in this book. If only he'd had a bit of love in his formative years. (Then we wouldn't have had the books, of course) And his poor, poor mother too, being part of such a horrendous family.
I haven't seen it yet, but judging by performances in previous films, Bonnie Wright will be quite wooden. It is a shame because in the books Ginny is such a spunky character.
