Problem with LT was it came out to close to the last Harry Potter film and people were worried it would be considered a Harry Potter knock off so they changed things around. I get where they were coming from but the change was for the worst and in the end LT was just related to the book in title alone.

Now Im trying not to get to exited about the new film but I agree that SOM has got a lot more potential. Recasting Ciron with Anthoney Head was a smart idea along with several other cast changes. Including ommited charecters from the first book like the Oracle, Clarisse and Chronus means they are probable going to take this film a lot more seriously and the directors probably took the time to read the books.

In the end all we can do is wait and prey to the gods that they get this film right.
