Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

3. Harry's Patronus; were you paying ANY attention?
Next round:
1. I wouldn't necessarily define Black as good; against Voldemort, yes, but no saint.
2. If you've read the books, you'd realise that Hagrid is a bigger soak than Dumbledore.
3. Follows the pattern of the other films; 1 match per film.
Any questions?

Just saw the movie today. I just dont know. I liked the first one, the second was okay but this one was dragged out and extremely slow-moving. So much stuff was hard to understand and the movie seemed to not know where it was going. Sure the special effects were good, but so much stuff went over my head. Like these, for example:
1. If the dementors were out to get Harry (for some reason), why were they invited to stay around Hogwarts?
2. If that one teacher (who was also a werewolf) knew sirius Black, why did he tell Harry that Sirius wanted to kill him?
3. What the hell was that elk thing that Harry saw across the lake while the dementors were attacking? Even stranger is that is was explatined later in the film that it was himself saving himself!
Other things I didn't like:
1. Sirius black turned out to be GOOD!
2. Dumbledore was an alcoholic.
3. There wasn't enough quidditch.
Okay, there were a few things that I liked:
1. The opening scene. Hilarious!
2. The ending scene. I left the theater with a good feeling.

2. It was still dumb that Pettigrew was Ron's rat all along.
3. Yes, I was paying attention (though it was hard to). If it was his Patronus, why did he say he saw his FATHER? Even so, I thought the Patronus he used earlier in the film to defeat the dementor was the memory of his parents talking to him.
Next round:
1. It just annoyed me because it was so random at that point to completely switch his character around.
2. I've never read the books.
3. It would be nice for that one match to be a bit longer.

All well said, Bossk. Not much I can add here. Chris Columbus did make the Quidditch matches look fairly fake, didn't he? Probably one of the reasons I didn't pick up the books any sooner than I did. The movies put me off, and yet they also made me realize that the series was worth looking into after all. Strange contridiction.

Quidditch looked like a videogame in the first 2 films, and I don't mean that as a compliment. Here, it wasn't prominently featured, but because of Cuaron's decision to follow the rules of special effects i.e. when something looks fake, shoot it in the dark so no one can tell, it looked much better this time around. I agree with Galahad; definitely the best of the three so far. If you want a slavish cramming of as many events from the novels as possible into the film, stick with the first two; if you want to see an actual Harry Potter movie, with atmosphere and artistry (as well as much better acting), go with this one.
