Harry Potter - a triumph!



The Harry Potter movie (last night) was brilliant. Interestingly, in a three quarters full cinema, I didn't spot a single child, but it was a 9pm showing. (There were showings as late as midnight.)
I'd only managed 140 of the book's 309 pages before going, and couldn't believe how quickly the film raced through the beginning. Much discussion afterwards on the bits that were changed or missed out, but a general consensus that it was nearly all done pretty well, except for the spells bit near the end, when it's....oh I can't explain - it would spoil things.

Alan Rickman as Snape is truly terrifying and evil, although he did also remind me a bit of Brian Molko from Placebo.
