How completely boring it would be to simply see a visual representation of exactly what was on the printed page.

YAWN!

Yes, I agree. In fact if they stuck to the printed page of many of these books it would make a lousy movie.

You know, we watched the first Harry Potter last night and it was kind of interesting to do so, having read the final book of the series. One thing that struck me was- much as I loved Richard Harris- how good Michael Gambon is in the part of Dumbledore. I really did not like him at all in the third film, largely because his portrayal of Dumbledore seemed a bit too energetic- I had grown used to the more gentle, soft-spoken Harris. Now that we've been allowed a better look into the character of Dumbledore, I really think Michael Gambon is doing a fine job.
