caitri | Harry Potter and the WB

So I enjoyed the newest film quite a lot--possibly the most since #3. It was a helluva lot better than the source text too, I might add. Lots of attention has been given to the latent/rising sexuality of the film--it is after all one of its improvements. One of the things that bugged me about the novels was having all these sixteen and seventeen year olds basically acting having the emotional/sensual awareness of eight year olds. I don't know why girls make me feel funny! Um, yeah, I'd consider buying that from a homeschooler in the rural midwest, but otherwise--nuh uh. But here the subtext is largely the text, and if the book had been like that I would have enjoyed it more. It also helps a lot that the film was written and directly much like the better offerings of the WB in the days of yore, which covers teen angst and emotion pretty damn well.
