let’s see, you missed:

Ron saying Hermione's name when he was recovering in the hospital bed. Some discussion by the teachers of how the beer was poisoned and who the intended recipient was. Draco standing around feeling eyes of accusation for poisoning the beer. Ron's ex-girlfriend was giving Hermione and Ron dirty looks across the dining hall.

And it's Stanley Tucci as Paul, right? SO PERFECT! Especially given his role(s) in BIG NIGHT.

Yes! God, that was a good movie.

Not having read the memoir, I got the sense from the ads that Julie and Julia was sort of about finding yourself, and how they used food to do it.

Oh, good! I caught the stuff in the sickroom, but missed anything between that and Katie Bell. So, the only Harry/Ginny stuff was the handholding and kiss in the Room of Requirement ?

Yeah, that was it.

I loved it and it's probably my favorite of the three. I liked how they handled everything, though I could have done with less of the mooning and more of the Moony. And the Tonks. I predict it's their wedding at the beginning of DH movie since we have no Bill.

There was a lot they left out and most of it I was ok with, but I don't like that they left out the Gaunt memories. I wonder how they'll handle the Gaunt/Peverell/Potter connection with the Hallows.

What I thought was pretty cool, and I don't recall having seen it before in any of the movies, is that the shot of Katie Bell in the air looked a lot like the illustration in the book. >[link]

I need to see it again. I had to sit in the very front row and feel like I missed a lot.

Oh, I'll be seeing this again. I'm heading out to see my mom, brother, and his family next week, and my niece will be coming back from three weeks in Europe a few days after I get there. I'm hoping her friends will have already seen it and she might want to go see it with Aunt Kathy instead.

If not, I'll wait until the IMAX/3-D version is out at the end of the month and go see it there, which I probably will do anyway.

I think the second one is underrated, and it has one of the best final shots ever.

True dat! It's not a great movie but the last 20 minutes are kind of amazing for pacing and twisting the narrative expectations. You really don't know what's going to happen at the end.

HBP: Emmett's bathroom break coincides exactly with Kathy's!

I didn't love it. It was good and it had a lot of good bits. I'm sorry they desaturated it so much, as apparently they hired the designer from Amelie to set the color scheme and Yates loved it and the studio hated it and it was all grayed out.

I thought Rupert Gint's love potion bit was even better than Daniel's lucky potion bit - which was good. Nice to see Rupert far from the broad mugging that Chris Columbus encouraged.

The story suffers in part for the whole Bill mauled by Greyback being cut.

I get why they cut that, but there really is very little action in the movie.

Tom Felton was very good.

I'd go with Le Nub's ranking but preferred Goblet to this.

I think it's Tom Felton. He was amazing. I loved his costumes, too.

I'm sorry they desaturated it so

Yes. When Ron entered the great hall in one scene I was certain he was dreaming it.

I think it's Tom Felton.

Corrected.

He was amazing. I loved his costumes, too.

Very sleek, dark mod look.

David, the designer is the one who did all the Harry Potter movies, but the cinematographer is from Amelie. He's responsible for the greying out.

To briefly interrupt HBP talk and respond to P-C's question: Toy Story and Toy Story II.

Although I guess that's about to become a trilogy also.
