Ron+Hermionie= Exaggerated?
Does anyone besides me think the director exaggerated the Ron+Hermionie love story more than it was supposed to be?

Yah. Chris Columbas really over exaggerated it. For example, at the end of the Chamber of Secrets, when Hermionie runs of to Harry, and gives him a giant hug, and then is about to do the same to Ron, she suddenlt stops, and then shakes his hand. In the books, Rowling was more subtle. But I guess that Columbas had to, to get the point across.

That is the exact place I was thinking of.

J.K. Rowling only mentioned it in book 4. In book one that doesn't work.

ya... I don't even think anyone is positive Ron and Hermione will hook up! Some one needs to read the books! *looks pointedly at Chris Columbus* Besides at 11, i wasn't worried about who liked who. I was still a tomboy at that age!

we agree. hermione was much more concerned with books and school and saving the world than Ron in the books. we think that movies don't have to be romantic to be gooda cheese. okay. our rant is over now.

But I have to say that the second movie seemed a bit too gory for the 8 yr old readers out there. I don't agree with how they portrayed the fight with blood and all that cos the main audience are actually little kids, and I know I wouldn't want my little sister (9) to see that kind of violence. Plus, you shouldn't need a list for the changes from book to movie, if you've actually read the book. |

It was definitely more exaggerated than in the books, but I don't think it's necessarily bad, just ... different. I like Rowling's style more, but the way they did it in the movie was alright too.
