I agree with you there Therese! I absoulutely LOVE what Cuarón did with PoA. He's a brilliant director, -original, dramatic and daring. Although I loved the first two movies too they were nothing compared to PoA. Finally we saw that the wizarding world is an eerie and dangerous place. The first 2 movies were too much like a magic theme park. But they had their charm
BTW, Cuarón as a director was JKR's own suggestion because she loved his style so that should mean that she prefered this style in PoA, shouldn't it?
