Oliver ,'Conviction (1)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Beej, I agree on the handwriting scar. It kind of took away the point that Umbridge was out to get just Harry and her obvious huge grudge against him.
OH! OH! OH! They also left out Umbridge's confession in the forest that she was the one who sent the dementors after Harry. I wonder why?
11 days til DR is legal!!
11 days til DR is legal!!
Isn't he already legal in England?
Aimee, that was totally it for me. Not that we really needed to see more of her hatred and lunacy , or anything, but it took a huge bite out of Harry's suffering and isolation.
And, right, not mentioning Umbridge's Bush-like tactics in re: sending the Dementors without Fudge's knowledge will make it more difficult to set up the political satire of book 6. Perhaps they've already decided to ax that bit.
Oh, oh, and how come they changed the visual of the Dementors so much? It made Mrs. Figg's testimony not make much sense. If I didn't have every. freaking. detail of these books committed to memory, I'd have been confused by that.
Oh! And I thought that Big D was depicted much more closely to my vision of him than ever before. On the other hand, when did Aunt Petunia get to be such a hottie? That dress seemed a) too 80's to be borne and b) like the washer broke down and she was forced to borrow something from a slutty neighbor.
Jehoshaphat!...so sad am I that these details bother me?
Isn't he already legal in England?
Yes. But I'm here.
What I didn't like:
The appearance of the Dementors. Totally wrong. and The difference in the effect of the "Sirius in the Fireplace". I liked the way it was done before when it looked like Sirius' face was made of the embers and coals.
Beej, you are not sad. I agree with all of your whitefont.
My handwave on the Dementors is that they were all rogue and badass, and therefore were not sporting their huge robes.
Also, yes, Petunia was working some fabulous gams.
*books tickets for me and Aimee to England*
DR's already legal in Michigan, Aimée.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm with MM on Tonks.
I may just have a thing for colored hair.
