Oh, I loved the desks! I liked the desks too, but if you think about it, in a film which has grown up, that's kind of juvenile. [...] It's great in the book, but really hard on film. Those things don't translate as well when the films are growing up.
WTF? It'd translate great on film! And yes it is juvenile - it was one of those great bits of JKR humor which gives a little lift to a scene which otherwise is pretty heavy stuff. Grr.
I hope at least we'll still have some of the actual duel bits with Snape and McGonagall (like the knives in the suit of armor and all).
And if she doesn't say "Our headmaster is taking a short break" or "He has, to use the common phrase, done a bunk" I'm going to be so sad.
[I]t's like Peter Pettigrew strangling himself [which happened in the seventh book but was cut from the film]. It's great in the book, but really hard on film. Those things don't translate as well when the films are growing up.
So Pettigrew curse hand strangling him - or for that matter dieing on film at all - is too juvenile for this grown up film?
