I hadn't liked Luna when I first read her character, she was too much a victim, but I adore movie Luna so I'm now reading the character in the book differently. She was superb!
I really was not a fan of movie Bellatrix, I thought that Helena B C was way over doing the camp and trying to steal scenes from luscious...Lucius. Luckily that was impossible, Jason Isaacs owned the screen!
And I thought they might as well have cut Tonks completely, because she was boring to the point of being invisible.
But Umbridge kicked ass....
I felt that the set designers have gotten lazy, the last couple of films have not had the magical intensity that the first three did, I particularly thought that Grimwald Place should have been much creepier and weirder.
The thestrals were great, but Hagrid's brother and the centaurs were really badly done. They had unlimited funds, there is no excuse for half-assed work (IMO).
Definitely this director prevented Emma Watson more obnoxious excesses....
