Spoiler:

I tweeted about that on the evening/next day and the actress of Matilda responded, saying she disagreed... so that was slightly surreal

As for Harry Potter ... jeez, I wonder if the sixth film is actually understandable by people who've not read the books?

Oh well, if the actress employed to speak more intelligent people's words disagrees, then you must be wrong. I mean what is she, 16? I knew everything when I was 16 too. I would love to have Philip Pullman in my address book, just to get his honest thoughts on it.

I love Harry Potter. But I think her last three books should have been given to a really good edit. She tried to get into the last three, all kinds of information that should have been in the first three, to make the story work. I remember flogging through The Order of the Phoenix thinking I'd still be reading it when the next one came out. It was the longest book... but one of he shortest films.
