Just seen the new HP movie. (Hint for adults. If you want to see the movie without the trouble of having to escort a kid, or be around them, go at 23:10 on a saturday night. There were about 20 people in the cinema of 400 seats, and all were 23 or older)

It was a really poor adaption of the book. It could have done with being about 30 mins longer and staying true to the book a bit. I'm suprised you like Gary Oldman in it Bex, I didn't think he did that good a job. Lupin was excellent, especially for an actor i've never seen/heard of before. Also, I think Gambon was a bit too sprightly for 150 year old magician. He could have acted a bit more like Harris, I would have thought. Hogwarts was completely different, have they moved it? The grounds were completely different. Rating for the movie: On its own merit, i'd say 6/10, based on the book, 3/10.

I saw the trailer foe Garfield. That seemed quite fun. I suspect it is one of those movies that has 5 jokes, and they put them all in the trailer, so when you watch it you don't laugh. Might be worth a go though.
