Harry Potter 3!!

Lj-cut because of spoilers.
Things I liked:
-Glimpses of a Ron x Hermione relationship
-More twins action!
-A jolly Dumbledore, one who wasn't so frail. Richard Harris, although an awesome Dumbledore, acted too old and not so happy as I have envisioned Dumbledore to be.
-Sirius Black was awesome.
-Peter Pettigrew was very accurate!
-Silly Ron antics got even sillier.
-Emma Watson, this was probably the best movie she's done for Harry Potter yet!
-Buckbeak!!! OMG I LOVE Buckbeak! Buckbeack for president and dead ferrets for all!
- Hermione being scared of flying XD
- Emma Thompson as Professor Trelawny! YAY!
-Hermione flooring Draco >=D
-Draco shrieking and running like a girl.
-Snape protecting the students. Awwww.
- Harry crying. He needs a huuuuug!
-Daniel Radcliff. I knew he was going to become quite a cutie!
Things I didn't like
-Nearly all the scenes started RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. There was no build-up, nor beginning-middle-end. The movie was generally rushed through the beginning and the middle to get to the end.
-Lupin's moustache. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! No need to make the man ugly!
-Dumbledore was waaaaay too stern in the beginning.
- HARRY DOING MAGIC IN THE OPENING! What is up with that? He was practicing a LIGHT SPELL when the RULES ARE SET IN STONE REGARLDESS OF MOVIE OR BOOK that students will be EXPELLED for doing magic outside of school during break unless they are of age. HARRY IS THIRTEEN!
- Practically no mention at all of the Wolfsbane Potion. Snape needs to bring the potion to Lupin to catch sight of the Marauder's Map to get to the Whomping Willow so he knows that Harry and others are in there!
- Werewolf Lupin looking more like a human than wolf. Scratch that. Werewolf Lupin looking like Scooby Doo.
- No explaination AT ALL who Moony, Wormtail, Prongs, and Padfoot are.
- Lack of general Snape-ness.
- Lack of general twins-ness, but I'm getting used to that.
- Lack of OLIVER WOOD!
- Lack of GINNY.
- Three Broomsticks turning into a BAR instead of a PUB.
- The Patronus Charm that Harry summoned to save himself. When Past!Harry looked at it from across the lake, it looked cool. When Present!Harry did it to save Past!Harry, it looked like a spotlight shining on Harry's face... which is what it was. No showing PRONGS at all!
- Harry not telling Dumbledore about Professor Trelawny's prediction. Dumbledore needs to know these things!
Generally, I was disappointed =(
