Erratum/More on Harry Potter

I have been corrected by Arun that Harry Potter summons a Patronus and not a Petronas. Had that happened, some people would've been very surprised to find themselves near Hogwarts, rather than downtown Kuala Lumpur.

Arun goes onto say (slightly paraphrased):

Many of crucial sub plots have been missed.

James Potter/ Sirius Snape conflicts can be found in great detail in the fifth book, but there is some amount of conflict revealed in PoAzkaban. Also, Snape's near death experience in the whopping willow has not found a place in the movie.


Thanks for the e-mail Arun!

There was a point I missed in my review about Harry Potter, and that was that it seemed to be very psychedelic - perhaps more so than the first two. For example - a garish purple bus, where your body gets stretched out (re: passing between the 2 double-decker buses), or clouds taking on the shape of the black dog, Prof. Trelawney's trances (yes, I know its all there in the book, but its very hippie stuff, wot?)
