Did anyone stay until the very end of the credits? I did. It shows a camera pan of Diagon Alley and it comes to rest on a bookstore window. On display is a book called "Who Am I?" by Gilderoy Lockhart. The picture on the cover is a wizard's photo of Lockhart in a straightjacket. It was funny.

It kinda sucked how they wussified Ron though. He's not such a wuss in the books.
Edit: I see sunstar has already commented on this...

on the wussified Ron: "follow the butterflies" was priceless, but while they were tramping through the forest, maybe Ron could've explained why he has such a fear of spiders...I recall something about a nasty prank being played on him...
I also didn't like how they gave all of Ron's smart lines to Hermione. How the heck did she know what a mudblood was, if it isn't the type of thing you hear in polite conversation? Do you think she read it in Hogwarts, a History?

I was impressed with the improvement in the CGI in this film versus Sorcerors Stone. They obviously put a lot of the profits from the first one into the CGI for this one. Dobby was great and Lockehart was hilariously funny (just like a primadonna movie star ).

Finaly got to see it tonight (took a while for the tape to get delivered).
Well what can you say?............It was the film of the book, no huge surprises and no big dissapointments. The characters were gloriously overacted (not a bad thing). The special effects were great. And once again Hogwarts looked just like Hogwarts should (although I'll never get used to seeing places I've walked around on film). Yep, a nice enjoyable film. Lockehart (Brannagh) does, of course, deserve special mention....brilliant character |

Loved the movie, particularly Gilderoy Lockhart and the new Lucius Malfoy was awesome...re: Lucius Malfoy can be evil and macho with a bow just as the same actor could be macho and evil with the fuzzy hat-thing in the Patriot! His presence totally even uses the bow and the fuzzy hat-thing to make his menace even more evil!
I have to say though, I was once again superbly bummed not to see Peeves in this movie. Yes, I agree also about Ron's "smart lines' being given to Hermione. But I didn't notice him being too wussified. Next movie should redeem his character even more. Loved professor sprout, also, and Poppy Pomfrey. Beautiful CG in Fawkes and the Basilisk. yikes! Did anyone think the Whomping willow was different from their mental picture?

Peeves needs to be in the next movie. After all, doesn't he play an important part involving the Marauder's Map? Or at least make an appearance in a bit involving the map? Forgive me, it's been a while since I've read The Prisoner of Azkaban.

I thought this film was better than the first, as I was VERY dissapointed with the philosophers stone, but the kid who does Harry is the worst actor ever. He might as well wore a mask for all the emotion he showed, even in the most frightening (Come on, a Basilisk is going to kill you for crying out loud) and painful scenes (He broke his arm and he showed a mild look of surprise).
Dobby was brilliant though, very well done, and Ron was funny - I was smiling and laughing, especially during the spider scene
