Get Peter O'Toole out of mothballs...

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2005)

...and give him anything he asks for! I need a credible Dumbledore to deal with Delores Umbridge in the next movie! As one person commented: Dumbledore would never shake a student like this..especially not Harry! I can't see this maniac saying, "I cannot allow you to manhandle my students!" I resent losing the last chance to see Quidditch...and championship level at that! Please calm down Our Hermione! She is too shrill and you are losing her character. I've read the books repeatedly and listen to the audio-books weekly. ("Thank God for Jim Dale!" Listening to him perform these books, I feel that I've seen the movie already!) I need to see Sirius! Gary Oldman is an impeccable actor and this character is sorely needed. Besides, you need to develop Harry. It would have been better theater for Moody to perform the two Unforgivable Curses on the spiders but do the Imperious Curse on the students so we could see Harry fight it and throw it off! It's in the book and he is a great wizard, you know! Please get some focus about these films. Are you trying to honor the story or just using the thinnest veneer to make money? Haven't you realized you will make the money...just give the story a fair treatment. I sure hope people who didn't read the book understand Priori Incantantum! Besides, it was boring to watch that dragon flying all over Hogwarts which Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed anyway! The champions are being protected, you know. This is an emotional response to a film that I've already seen 4 times. I gave it high marks because it was enjoyable on some levels and it is Harry Potter but try to improve the process next time, will ya!
