Harry Potter- round 6-who's ready?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I think it was a terrible adaptation and a mostly awful movie. I can't imagine it standing alone. Starting with the 5th film, the movies seem incomprehensible to those who haven't read the books. That is really their biggest offense. People invested in the movies and not the books probably feel especially annoyed.

Jesse, I feel like they actually omit some of the more important dialogue and scenes in favor of what the writers think will most appeal to tweens and visual effects lovers. I do think they get some of that right, but it's not my favorite part of the story.
