Haven't read your 'cut' review as I'm going to see it tomorrow. :) Went to PoA with a bunch of locals who were involved with TWH. We drove up to Orlando and the whole way I was thinking to myself, "This is going to suck". Not that I really thought it would, but that I wanted to get into the frame of mind that even if it was just ok...I would have an enjoyable time. Now, I'm sure I'll do the same thing tomorrow morning. Guess I'm just odd (like you didn't know that :-)), but once the movies start, I don't notice a great many of the flaws. I get too involved and can only remember one thing in PoA that stood out as being odd to me. Then, I get home and look at the reviews and they all nit-pick the film to death and I say, "Yeah, I remember that", but I didn't notice it while I was intially watching the film because I was looking at the film and comparing it directly to the book...at least at the moment I was watching it.
And I do agree that some of the actors are given instruction to portray their characters a certain way because of the way they'll end up at the end of the books. Makes me extremely scared for Hagrid. :(
