I'm going tonight. I have compartmentalized the movies and the books. Being such a book-to-movie purist, I had to make myself be ok with book canon and movie canon. The upside is that there are several canons to follow when writing fic!
That's insane troll logic!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
David Tennant has signed on to play a St Trinian baddie. I hope we get to see it. He's opposite Firth and Rupert Everett (in drag, if memory serves).

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I've not liked any of the HP movies (love the books, though) but I seem to get sucked in every time. I'm trying to resist this time around. And my main issue is that the kids are terrible actors as Jessica mentioned (they seem like lovely kids IRL, though). I don't really understand why in the case of Radcliffe as he was great and hysterically funny in the Extras ep he was in. "May I please have my prophylactic, Dame Diana?"

I thought that Radcliffe has actually improved over the past three films. At least, now, he can express some big emotions (grief over Sirius's death), something he couldn't do in Prisoner of Azkaban. Also, some of the reviews I've read for HBP have said that he's pretty funny in the lucky potion scene.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think all three of them do very well in the funny and investigative scenes, but fall flat in the big (and little) emotional moments, of which there are increasingly more in the final 3 books. Radcliffe's response to anything bad happening seems to be "clench jaw / fall to knees / don't blink" and Emma Watson ZOMGWTFEYEBROWS.

I can feel it in my bones, folks. This is the one that's going to result in my neighbors and former classmates appearing on network news programs to say "He was always such a quiet sort..."
