Harry in the Afternoon

I spent the afternoon today with Harry Potter. One of the joys of the series is that one gets to revisit places one has grown to like and see the people who are there again. It is kinda like a family reunion.

I enjoyed this one more than the others because it seemed to have more human emotion. It is strange at first to see the "children" so grown up and handsome, but they do act adolescent in the movie, and that is fun to watch.

I regret that Maggie Smith was only a walk-on in this one--she only had about five lines. The additon of Mrs. Umbrage was delightful and well-played by the actress. Daniel Radcliff as Harry gets better and better as do Hermoine and Ron.

Looking forward to the next one.
