One thing I was just thinking about--did anyone else find the scene in the bathtub with Moaning Myrtle weird? I thought it was very strange, especially for what is essentially a children's story. I thought the weirdest part was when she said that Cedric's bubbles were almost gone and then she was snuggling up next to Harry. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't so suggestive in the book.

I thought it was weird, too. Plus, wasn't Myrtle only supposed to be like 10 or 11?

Anyhow... I loved the movie! It's not my favorite HP movie, but it wasn't my favorite book, either. The visual effects were incredible, as NCShopper mentioned. I also thought they did a good job with the graveyard/maze scenes. I remember having a hard time visualizing those parts when I was reading the book.

I do wish they'd had more "Hogwarts" time. In the books, the school/classroom scenes are my favorites. Oh, and "baby Voldemort" was a little creepy.

One downside for me was that there was no music. I don't think they had John Williams compose a score for this one :(

The composer was Patrick Doyle. He's one of the more prolific composers, but he is very paint-by-numbers. My BF and I are HUGE John Williams fans...we love the themes he created for this movie, so to have Doyle's rather unispired score really almost ruined the movie for us.

I loved the movie...this is my favorite book and despite the lack of subplots, I still felt this was the best movie.
