Obligatory Reagan & Potter post

[annissamazing]

I saw Harry Potter on Saturday. I was disappointed. Perhaps it was all the hype. I was expecting the best Harry Potter movie to date and I don't think that The Prisoner of Azkaban delivered. What we got was the skeleton of a wonderful story. If it had nothing to do with the main plot line, it was deleted from the movie. Every nuance was removed. I left the theatre like I leave a restaurant where all I've eaten is a salad. Somewhat full, but unsatisfied.

I heard Reagan died. And for that reason, no news was watched this weekend.

Well, it was your post that reminded me to do it. :)

The third movie did not deliver as strong of a punch as the book did. The fact that Sirus Black made Pettigrew the Secret Keeper got completely glossed over was what left me disapointed. The kids should not have believed him and later admired Sirius otherwise. It was the betrayal and the levels of betrayal that really helped impact the feeling of Prisoner.

Also, they didn't explain it well enough that Hermione was taking every single class and that she was tired and crabby because of it. Which also would have helped lend credence as to why she was so mean to Ron about Scabbers and Crookshank. And the Big Black Dog and Crookshanks relationship was also missing.

I think you hit the hammer on the nail with the salad analogy. The frames were full and the plot moved fast but there was still more detail that could have been added and I wouldn't have minded sitting in the theatre for another 20 minutes to have let it all be there.

BTW, I love the puppet Angel icon. :)

I agree with that review.

One thing I was looking forward to was Harry using the Patronus spell on Malfoy. It was cut. :(

As for the icon, thanks. :)
