h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I stand in awe of your in-depth look into the movie Very wise and learned, I'd say. I was, as your so called fanatic potterphile, disappointed at how much book was not in the movie, but I must remember it isn't the book, nor can it be five hours long. I was stunned by the new-found beauty of the Hogwart's castle, like the giant swinging pendulum and clock that popped up frequently. Very different, very neat.

As an official Potter Scholar, I thank thee for your review

Cheers Katie, I was worried I might have ticked off the more dedicated Potter followers... I've read the first few books, but not recently (luckily the bit of the review where I commented on Rita Skeeter being cut didn't make it past the first draft ). As I said when I reviewed Philosopher's Stone (all those years ago...) utter devotion to the text of a book doesn't necessarily makefor the best adaptation.

I'm a bit disappointed Cuaron's not been signed up for another, but at least this way the films will stay fresh.

Rita Skeeter was cut! I nearly forgot! Man, it's been forever since I read the 3rd book...and I've read the first three four times each! Yes, I'm a loser.

Well I agree with your comments and thank you for your opinions Cheerio!

Wasn't Rita Skeeter in the fourth book?

quiz (too lazy to get up and check)

Not that I'd mind her getting cut...

Er.... Rita Skeeter *is* in the fourth book, hence I'm quite glad I did bother to check (for once)!

Probably got her mixed up with the character Emma Thompson (appalling over)played.

oh yea! hehehe...

*ashamed at her lack of HP knowledge*
