Since you’re a fan of Harry Potter books, do you like the movies? I don’t. They are ok-ish here and there, but they cut out and changed too much.

I do not, Anon. I liked one and two, but after that I honestly did not feel like the movies did justice to the books at all. I wore the color off of the cover of my first copy of PoA and that movie was one of my least favorite ones of the series. Similarly I adored Half-Blood Prince when it came out, and the movie was hideously uninteresting by comparison. I liked movie number four, though – that one was at least close enough that I could pretty much live with what wasn’t there/what wasn’t accurate about it. I will, however, be forever bitter about the fact that Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, and Snape were all meant to be in their early thirties and yet the people they cast to play them were at least twenty years off the mark in most cases. Like – no, that’s the point? these people were kids at the end of the first war and only young adults not even close to middle-age for a wizard at the start of the second.
