Funny coincidence. We just took the kids to it today, too. I agree that it was better done than the first, though I personally am quite happy that Chris Columbus is out of the picture (so to speak) from now on. A director can't help but leave his fingerprints all over his opus, and "Stonehands" Columbus leaves mighty big prints. Michelle disagrees, but in this, I'm right. You should realize that not everyone is taken by the books. Our own Mark is less than fond of them, for example. But I think they're fun. The fact that a successful and entertaining film adaptation can be made by Chris Columbus should be evidence enough of solid concept and good screenplay translation of a fundamentally sound novel. :) > Question: my wife heard a rumor that the actor who played the > big gentle giant guy that Harry hooks onto (the one who wanted > a dragon in the first movie) has recently died in an accident. > Anyone know if this is true?

(By the way -- and I don't think this qualifies as any sort of spoiler -- they should have made Hagrid about twice as big. Ah, well.)
