So I take it The Hour is good, and not just The British Mad Men?
I have to admit my favorite book is The Goblet of Fire mostly because it was the most fun, with the Quidditch World Cup (WIZARDS THAT AREN'T BRITISH!!) and the Tri-Wizard Tournament (okay, Euro-centric but still outside of Britain), though I totally agree about the best movies. My favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban (WHY COULDN'T CUARON DO THEM ALL? Then again if he were directing all the other Harry Potters we wouldn't have gotten Children of Men, the best and most subtle apocalyptic movie ever directed) though DH 1 was probably one of the best moviegoing experiences I've ever had (a bit better than DH 2 because there wasn't that added melancholy that this is the end). DH1 makes Camping, the Novel better than the book was, because we got pretty landscapes instead of boring text.
Ron does get shortchanged. I don't have all the feelings about him, but even I noticed this. The cockblock meme is there for a reason.
I like the idea of Snape/Lily, just not the execution, and either way Snape's a mean creep. But Alan Rickman does deserve all the awards.
