"OotP" sneak preview reviews coming in SPOILERS
"OotP" had a few test screenings in Chicago recently. Here are the reviews I've found so far. Please note these reviews contain SPOILERS and some reviewers are answering questions about the film's content they did not address in their post, hence more SPOILERS. Some of these reviews were written by people who don't read the books. Please let me know if any of the links are bad.
AICN review There's some bad language in the reader comments, not in the review itself.
From Leaky
Not a review per se, but this viewer answers questions about content of the film
What do you think so far?
These are the Snape-centric comments from the Leaky reviewer.
-In Snape's Worst Memory, does Lily stick up for Snape after James and Sirius start teasing him and does Snape call her a mudblood?
Never happend. Sorry.
Hmmmm, interesting.
-How long approx was Snape's Worst Memory?
And was there much interaction between Snape and Lily? Do we see the grey underpants? XP
3-4 Min, tops. None that I recall, no grey underpants seen. Just hanging up in the tree.
Denied again! *weeps* And a tree? Must be a weakly-cast spell to put him in a tree.
-Is the Pesnsieve scene "Snape´s Worst Memory" as cruel as in the books or easier to bear?
Much easier to bear. In the book it was excrutiatingly humiliating. There's little of that conveyed in the film.
Are they trying to make MWPP more sympathetic, then?
