The beginning is, though, very dull, and does drag on. In contrast, the film contains pretty much the same amount of exposition in Grimmauld Place, but does it in a lot smaller chunk of the whole story.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I have to say, the ending didn't really reveal anywhere near as much as the author seemed to think it would. Again, it's interesting to note how the film skated over the "revelatory" scenes to very little detriment of the story.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Rowling had set out to reveal other things in the book, but ended up changing her original plan quite a bit during the writing.Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1570525113758995236.post-32831421227386191392007-07-28T13:07:00.000+01:002007-07-28T13:07:00.000+01:00I have to say, I loved the book and the film.
