I see what you're saying, but in this circumstance I can understand it. Otherwise, I'm proud of the way Harry Potter, JK Rowling, the actors - everyone - have kept the entire thing very British. And yeah I'd heard all those... I'm so glad none of that happened - no way would it be the way I'd picture it, and surely JK Rowling thought the same thing. Since they're her creations, I'm so glad she put a stop to it.
I'll have left school too - we should all go!
