Saw POA again (mwahahaha) this time with my friend, who’s never read the books, although she saw the first two movies. She liked it, although didn’t know who Sirius and Lupin were and what on earth they were doing at the end. Still…

-The prophecey Trelawney made was different from the book. I keep wondering if ‘Innocent blood will be split’ is referring to Sirius’s death two years later. Or Cedric, maybe…

-Speaking of him, that was him as Hufflepuff Seeker, right? Wonder if it’ll be the same guy playing him next movie?

-Hermione’s line about werewolves in Snape’s class: ‘Their best friend could cross their path…’ Nice bit of foreshadowing there, with Sirius trying to stop Lupin transforming later…

-One line from the trailers that I missed: ‘We haven’t had an accident in about a week.’ -Stan’s line on the Knight Bus

-I saw Sir Cadogan…he was in the background a few times…

-Two other candidates for the Most Blatenatly Filmed After OOTP Award: Sirius telling Harry ‘The dead we have loved never truly leave us’ (yes, Dumbledore’s line, I know) and, during the Saving Buckbeak scene, you can overhear Dumbledore in the hut saying of his name ‘It’s a very long name…’ And we know this to be true. ;)

-When we see Sirius locked up in the tower, his eyes are closed. Looks like he’s preparing himself. *sniffle*

-I wish they’d told us who MWPP were. Maybe they’re saving it for GOF…although honestly, they’ve got enough to fit in there, why add more?

(Thoughts edited in next day)

-There was a line…can’t remember it, but it was something about Harry being in danger…and then the film cuts to Scabbers. Wheee.

-There were a lot of people wondering (when all we had were the trading card images) if Sirius’s last speech to Harry was too OOC. Well, afterwards he just sort of walks off…maybe he’s embarrased. Which would also explain why then he talks to Hermione and not to Harry. (Which I didn’t like. We know she’s smart, thank you!)

-Lupin’s expression after Harry tells him he saw Pettigrew on the map. It’s really and completely and utterly heartbreaking. :(

(Thoughts edited in later next day)

-That fountain in the courtyard was put there JUST to taunt people who didn’t go to the toilet before the movie started. I KNOW it.

-Favourite shot in the movie: Harry, after leaving the Dursleys, is standing at a fork in the road, next to the playground, it’s dark and night and oh so normal, and there’s lights in the distance and lamposts and road signs, and Harry’s standing there with his trunk of school things and doesn’t have anywhere to go…it’s breaking my heart thinking about it and I have no idea why.

(Still) more to be added later, probably…
