I couldn’t agree more

HP4: Movie

March 7th, 2006 by joby

So I finally saw Harry Potter 4 tonight (bought the DVD). I can only give it 2.5 starts (at best). The movie was enjoyable, but like the other Harry Potter movies I am annoyed by the changes. The larger changes are understandable because of the need to compress the story to fit into the required time, but the small changes are very obnoxious. For example:

  • The Patil twins are not in the same house
  • The two visiting houses were coed
  • Dumbledore’s tribute to Cedric was not at a funeral but the farewell dinner, he mentions that he represents the best of Hufflepuff

Why oh why?

Ayman alZawahiri, Al Qaeda’s number two, is offended by the Danish cartoons of Mohammad.

So let me get this straight. A man who preaches that Mohammad’s teachings justify terrorism against the West, is upset that Mohammad is portrayed as supporting terrorism?

Heh.
