movie six made my shipper heart weep. even more so than the fiasco that was movie five, lol. i can't even bear to watch OOTP - i've only watched it all the way through when i saw it once at the theater. i had hopes they would somehow remedy the h/g stuff in HBP but oh well. i did enjoy the rest of the HBP movie.
I was so disappointed in HBP. I just can't understand what the director and writers are trying to prove.
After much reflection, I've decided I really dislike DH, not simply for basically making Ginny, Luna and Neville disappear, but there are so many glaring plot holes in it. I honestly wonder if JKR really had any idea of where she wanted this book to end up when she started and then just wrote whatever happened to occur to her that day.
The biggest hole was how Ron destroyed Hufflepuff's cup. Correct me if I'm wrong, but JKR often said only a few people had the ability to speak Parseltongue, Harry being one of them. Yet somehow Ron perfectly imitated the hisses that he had heard Harry make ONE time FIVE years before!
ah, I had forgotten that, but I'm still not convinced that Ron could duplicate the sounds. JKR seemed to indicate that speaking Parseltongue required some special ability which Harry had because of his connection to Voldemort.
And again, it was in a stressful situation, where Ron was unlikely to be paying any particular attention to what Harry was saying, and about four months elapsed before he opened the Chamber.

Does that stretch believability or not?
