I loved this so much. I had a few little critiques of Spidey 2, for all its greatness - I had no critiques whatsoever of this film. (except for maybe they should have made it clear that his dad was a stag, it would've taken one line from Lupin or Sirius towards the end to explain that)

So many people have already said in this thread what was so great about it, so I'll just second everything.

And it worries me that the director of FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL is set to direct Harry 4. I know AC said it was too exhausting and he couldn't do another one, but DAMN after seeing this I wish he taxed himself a little more to direct the 4th.

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL

That way like 10 years ago! What has be done since? I think AC agreed to do the 5th one.

Four Weddings and a Funeral, mainly.

[hyperventilating] Don't toy with me. Do you have a source for this? Is there really a possibility that Cuaron, Slashiest Director Ever, who is already directing Harry-Snape scenes that crackle and spit with slashy goodness,* will direct Penix, in which Snape teaches Harry Osculomancy (the art of predicting the future through kissing), and spends the whole book throwing him around in a dungeon?

*my friend, on leaving PoA: "Well, they cut a lot of Snape's scenes, but at least we got to see Harry and Snape kissing".

I reckon Mike Newell's going to be good at the English boarding school bits... Columbus was lame at them, Cuaron focuses on the darkness, he'll inject the sentiment that Goblet of Fire wants and give it that grouped feeling because that's what GoF is about really, Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

Good point. Cuaron may be knackered, but may also be bagsying OotP as it's much more his bag. There's a certain amount of 'play up, play up' in GoF which Newell might well be good at.

S/S, harry bewteen them, brandishing wands....

As I'm sure you'll remember, bip, one of the actual lines from that confrontation is: "Snape tightened his fist in his pocket over what Harry was sure was the head of his wand".

Sure, Harry?

But now I extra want Cuaron to do Penix so we can find out what his ship is (beyond Lupin/Black which we already know - actually, the boundless opportunities for Lupin/Black angst are another good reason for him to do that one.)

I can't find it anywhere but I think he said that if they wanted him back he'd be interested but it would have to be for the 5th one since the 4th is already in production and he needs a break.

"Snape tightened his fist in his pocket over what Harry was sure was the head of his wand".

Sure, Harry?

Indeed, see also:

Sirius pushed his chair aside roughly aside and strode around the table towards Snape, pulling out his wand as he went. Snape whipped out his own.

[..]

'Whats been going on?' asked Mr Weasely again.
'Nothing, Arthur,' said Sirius, who was breathing heavily as though he had just run a long distance.

I can't wait to see what Cuaron let loose on this.

*claps tiny hands in gleeee*
