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.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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, 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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm with MM on Tonks.
I may just have a thing for colored hair.

Oh god. Take me.
You guys can have Daniel...I'll watch.
I just want Alan Davies to understand that he's made a terrible mistake by recently marrying that obviously gorgeous and by-all-reports perfect for him woman. And then, run away with me.
Ha. Aileen, that's a good handwave. I didn't go there at all, but I can see that. Like some labor revolution... We don't work for the MAN anymore so, we don't have to wear your stinking robes! Besides, have you ever tried flying in one of those things? Oy, the chafing!

So much chafing!
Other things I forgot: Kingsley was FAB. And those kitten plates? Hysterical.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
About the Blood Quill : in the book, Lee Jordan is also subjected to it (Harry recommends using murtlap to heal the bleeding), so making more victims in the film is not that far of a stretch.

I'm totally chastened Kathy. You are completely right. I guess I was thrown off by the Don't hurt the TWINS!! knee jerk. Good point by you.
Yes, Aileen, ita on both points. The one scene with the kitten walking back out of the plate through the catflap made me think forcibly of the "Talk to the butt" scene in the Stuart Little film. Same kind of cat I think, too.
