Evanna Lynch did her role as Luna well, though, but that's just me speaking. Better than Ron, at least, two movies in and I wondered what the hell Hermione saw in him.

- Surana no, the first movie was terrible... remember how the kids snuck Norbert out and only got in trouble for being out past curfew? No, you wouldn't, because in the movie Hagrid got caught, suffered almost no consequences, and Harry and friends got in trouble for talking with a teacher past curfew... and that was a plot-point referred to later in the series(first mention of Bill, other stuff that was changed) and all of it was changed for no reason whatsoever. When I mention this a lot of people respond with "they didn't have time to film all that" which would be fair enough... except the only relevant scene needed to keep that plot unchanged would have been the trio getting caught in the hallway after the fact, with just as much exposition runtime as the change required... and the change actually affected future plot that already existed... just horribly done and sloppy.
