I watched SS again last night for the second time. The 1st time I'd not read a single HP book and so the movie was, as far as I knew, accurate.
However since then I've read all five books and convince my mum and dad to read them, my dad's currently reading PoA and my mother had started PS.
My dad, bless his soul, tried to sound like he knew what he was talking about so through the whole film we had shouts of:
it's Hamish (when Hagrid arrived)
that must be the weasels (at platform 9 3/4)
there's henrietta (at hermione's entrance)
and Millicent Dragos (for Draco Malfoy)
I was laughing so hard for most of the film, but, there are so many inaccuracies that I see now!
Stupid things that even my muggle parents noticed they were that bad, like the Burmese(film)/Brazillian(book) snake. Why did that need to be changed??
Quirrels turben in the pub (now this could be explained if they shot the end before this scene as the actor would've had no hair but still!)
There were many others but I got bored of nit-picking by this point. Overall it's better before you read the books, but I'm off to watch the second film in a bit.
