Potter Posting
We just finished watching the latest Harry Potter flick, which finally arrived today from Amazon. Husband connected my laptop (which has a DVD player) into a projector he borrowed from work, hooked up the speakers and it was just like we were in the theater. I made popcorn and cracked open a couple beers...
And good thing I did. I was so looking forward to seeing this movie and, well, what a letdown.
I know very well that movie makers have to deal with constraints as far as what they can have in the actual flick, but no Dobby the House Elf?
Yeah, I was disappointed. No wonder I prefer reading the books intead of seeing the movies. But hey, at least I've got a good buzz going.

My oldest has read each of the books multiple times and found movie 4 better than 3. Yes, she is disappointed by all that's left out, but as you said, constraints in time and budget keep them from fully covering the storyline.

I just missed Dobby...but I did like Mad Eye Moody. I can't wait to see what they do with The Order of the Phoenix. Harry gets really "teenager-y" in that one.
