Potter Opinions

[melchar]

Saw the new Harry Potter movie and enjoyed it. They left out -tons- of the book but left much of the important plot points. It was not so chopped up that it was -too- sketchy, but I hope the DVD has an expanded version. Gary Oldman was great and the gal who played Luna was marvellous. All the actors did well their roles IMO.

But -dang- I hope they do the next book in 2 parts.

Constant Vigilance!

I have to admit, I wasn't thrilled with it (did the midnight showing thing....could be part of the reason!) It reminded me of how "Chamber of Secrets" was stripped down to the bare essentials, leaving the "heart" of the movie in the extra scenes of the DVD. But, it will have a chance to redeem itself when I see it again this Friday when the local Whovians combine the movie with the "Deathly Hallows" release party.

I'm glad they trimmed the 'Potter angst' to a bearable minimum. ^_^ I understand that so much had to be left out, but . . . sure wish more had been left in. What was there, tho, was very good, IMO
