I took advantage of the fact that I had the day free since I am working tonight to take in a matinee of Harry Potter. I have to admit, the first 20 minutes or so I was really thinking I was going to be disappointed (lots of slapstick for the kids which is fine, just not my thing)but then it settled into a nice, just-tickling-the-edge-of-your-perception foreboding atmosphere. I thought the Dementors were really cool and they managed to avoid being too Ringwraithy. Oh yeah and I liked Buckbeak too. And mostly you have to say that Gary Oldman kicks ass.
