and another thing

As I think about the movie I do keep thinking of other things that jumped out at me, for example, how they students learned to block or defy the imperious curse, and how Harry was able to do it, and how this came in handy with VOldermort at the end. Not huge, but again something that jumped out at me.

Of course, the whole house elf thing jumped out at me, but I understood it, and it was okay, to me.

In contrast, I think they dragged on the dragon scene a bit too long...could have been trimmed down, and the time could have popped in a few more details.

I guess it was originally thought that this should be made into two films, but they decided to do one instead. Well what about making one long one (3 hours or so) and having an intermission, like some of the old flicks? Thats how I saw Lawrence of Arabia...) Just a thought...
