I had mentioned the "I love magic" thing in the discussion way back when. For me it isn't so much that he is still awed by what magic can do but that after several years of magical schooling he still seems to have no conception of it. He approaches a tent into which a half-dozen people have just entered and rather than thinking "magic sure is neat" seems instead to think "what I'm seeing isn't possible!"
I just don't like the character of Harry Potter. I like most of the other characters but Potter himself sucks quite a bit.
It was funny to see this thread. On the flight back from Japan last night, this was the last movie in English that I hadn't yet watched on the airplane and ended up sitting through it again. I still think it is the worst of the four (with the third one being best artistically, the first best storially, and I can't remember what happened in the second).
