Harry Potter movie

I don't think I've mentioned yet that Cody and I went to see the last Harry Potter movie a couple of weeks ago. It was really good - much better than the other movies in the series. I felt like the pacing was handled a lot better (although this may not be saying much, as I have always felt that the pacing in the HP movies was handled poorly). Cody said that he had a lot less trouble following what was going on, and only had a few questions for me after it was over.

My impressions? Well, it did rekindle my interest in the series as a whole, which is good. There were a couple of scenes where I would've preferred if they'd left it the way it was in the book, but other scenes where I liked the way they changed it for the movie.

Overall, I have the same feeling I did when I finished the book: I would really, really like to see some talented writer (doesn't have to be JKR) do the whole thing from Neville's perspective. I think I would get more into a series like that. Harry was okay and all, but... yeah.

Side note: while at Cos & Effect, I managed to pick up the 'Neville would have done it in 4 books' T-shirt. Heh.
