I would like to think that it would be similarly expressed in this latest installment of the films. We are supposed to be taking the further adventures of Potter's group much more seriously. I don't want to see cute lil wizards dancing about exclaiming "Oh! its like magic!" honestly... however, if it's a crap translation or just a poorly rewritten extension of the last sequel, then it will (yet again) disappoint the core fanbase and alienate the non-readers and kids going out to see a "fun magic romping kids movie." this film should be *whomping* not romping.

Really? I mean, furniture. Really? The hell? “little glimpses of the wizarding world’s furniture”?

OotP is NOT a "fun" book. It isn't about fun. It isn't all sparkly and magical. It's about possession and loss and coping. I would be disappointed if the movie was "fun".
