I definately did not imagine Phawkes that ugly, but I guess he was okay. i read somewhere (I'm not sure where and I am not sure if this is even true so don't quote me on it, please) that he doesn't wear contacts because they make him blink a lot.

You know what really surprised me, the way the snake thingie looked (can't remember it's name right now for the life of me). It looked, I don't know different, and it had the funniest tail I thought. I also think that all snakes have funny looking tails and that tails in general are funny looking. That's just me though

I was really mad that in the second movie they took out the de-gnomeing scene!

it probably would have, but I can tell why they took it out. Just like the deathday party, it's not something that's part of the plot as such, but more like an addition that makes thw whole thing more fun. The movie still makes sense without it, and they were trying to make it shorter!

Meanwhile, I wouldnt mind sitting in the cinema or whatever for hours and hours and seeing the whole thing! Don't you just wish that they would make 2 versions... I short one, with stuff taken out, and one with absolutely everything in it!!! *ahhh, dreams*

It did annoy me that the films were so in-accurate with loads cut out, but I don't think an eight hour movie would have gone down well.I wish they'd had Hermiones logic bit at the end, my mum says they cut it because it wouldnt have been exiting to watch but im not so sure.
