Harry Potter- round 6-who's ready?

I'm siding with ISM on this one. I, too, think OOTP was butchered, if by butchered one means trimming the fat and removing a hundred pounds of offal. While I think Book 7 brings it home, I think J.K. Rowling went all Anne Rice after book 3. "Editor? Who needs one? Let me tell you another clever thing about this world." "Let's listen to my characters talk some more."

I'm a big Michael Gambon fan, but he took a little getting used to in Azkaban. He struck me as a bit too twinkly. Still, his characterization is more in keeping with what we learn about him in Book 7 than Richard Harris's somewhat more ethereal portrayal.
