from · me · to · you

I was watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last evening. Both movies were played in succession on the ABC Family channel. I'm assuming they did this to raise hype over the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood(ed) Prince movie... whose tickets I have already bought!

I realize that both GoF and PoA were disappointing the second time I watched them. (Third time? Fourth? Fifth?) I think that the screenwriter and director tried to capture something other than the nuanced experience. You cannot simply throw a cast together, add in SFX, and then write in some of the more important scenes... that lacks something.

Literature and cinema will always be siblings at odds, I feel. If one shares their idea with the other, the other is bound to toy around with it until it takes a form that they are satisfied with. Therefore, I don't expect to walk into any Harry Potter movie (least of all, the sixth) and be completely satisfied. But it's painful to admit that.
