i don't think i'm gonna say much about the 3rd installment to the Harry Potter movie franchise. i'll do pros and cons.

pros: alfonso cauron(AC) definitely did a great job pulling the characters out of the kids, the cast is awesome--good casting esp. sirius black, peter petigrew. the cinematography was really good and the "new" setting and scenery was somewhat refreshing. added some new scenes esp. the dormitory scene w/ the boys.

cons: it was too short in that there was alot left out in the story. he added some weird stuff for 'comic relief' that just made it cheap--the pink lady and the shrunken head on the knight bus...wtf? it was missing some central aspects of HP history with harry's dad's friends. story was out of order somewhat. i can understand some of the changes...but stuff seemed thrown in--firebolt at the end??? and what about the last shot of harry at the end...seemed gay.

ok that's it...i could rant on about it...but i'm still trying to figure out if i liked it or not. i can't get away from the thought that he left out such huge parts that lead up to the next book and the history that gives the story depth and emotion. *shrug*

when are we going to find out that the one whose name we mustn't speak is really is father. See they say that he killed his father, but that is only somewhat true, he ceased being his father and became l.v......huh? what do you think about that storyline? thats never been done before right? right? oh wait...hmm something tells me i'm off on this one....haha....i thought it was the weakest of the series....my 2 cents
