Potter 5

I am so tired. My own doing. Normally, this wouldn't have such an effect, but I have been up late trying to finish the books up to book 4, which I didn't do. I did come to the realization that, imho, book 3 has more relevance on book 5 than book 4 does. Anyway, I think the audience participation contributed to the excitement of the film. I enjoyed watching Ms. Lynn huff and puff about how much it didn't follow the book exactly. And she enjoyed watching me see things and realize things, that she knew already, for the first time. Prof. Trelawney scene in the court yard caught me off guard and surprised me very much. Especially when Prof. McGonagall came to her aid, them sort having a bitter history together. What I was really looking forward to was the cast. I knew that they would all be back. Just about all the people from all 4 films were here and a few new additions, btw Luna Lovegood was awesome. I can't believe she beat out 15000 girls who auditioned, well done. I wish that Helena Bonham Carter had a bigger role though. She is such a terrific actress and to be given such a small part (in such a big movie), I don't know, I felt a little jilted. I think everyone did a great job, even if Ms Lynn feels that Emma Watson's acting is not growing as Daniel's and Rupert's is. I still don't like the new Dumbledore very much; I think he is good for the role seeing how Dumbledore is getting evermore darker (kinda don't want to see the old Dumbledore get that mean). But he is not convincing me as a great and powerful wizard who is very light-hearted, wise, and child's playfulness. More like a talented one who just so happens to be about as strong as Voldemort.
