Yeah, that's exactly what we thought. "We have a book full of plot," they said, "but the most recent teenie hit had five minutes of plot, altogether! Let's see what we can chuck out. A plot point important in the next movie? Who has *that* attention span? OUT!"

Ideally the second movie would mostly omit Harry Potter and the Camping Trip and focus on Neville Longbottom: The Year I Ruled Hogwarts. Yeah, I know, fat chance of that happening. :(

The shots of Draco in the movie were ridiculously pretty. Every single one. It's like the director noticed all the women are either crazy, mothers, underage or old, and needed some really pretty shots. XD
