Harry Potter and more

I was browsing tonight and came across this page by link from a persian blog and I cannot believe my eyes, is this for real?! It seems to be in a far east country, I know they eat all sorts of stuff that are weird to us but only because it's a different diet which you can get used after a while but this?! please somebody tell me it's just a gross joke!

One of the first Iranian bloggers, Hossein Derakhshan spoke in a conference in Tunis, I thought it might be interesting for English readers.

I went to see Harry Potter's latest movie as soon as it was out on Friday and well I have to say after my first experience of reading the book before watching the movie, it was so inconsistent and weirdly edited! Maybe this is all because I've read the book which is so cohesive and comprehensive! I felt like the scenes were all sewn together in a bit of a hurry and so it made no sense sometimes. I had to actually fill in the blanks at times for my husband who was bewildered by some events that suddenly occured with no plausible explanation whatsoever.

I believe these scripts are written and filmed under supervision of the author and cannot believe how Ms Rowling could let this happen to her precious book! I know the book is long and we shan't expect all the details to be included in the movie but still it's just important for the plot to make sense to a person who has not read the book, right?

Well maybe I'm just too meticulous and it's not as bad as it seemed to me but I was certaily hoping for a more coherent movie since I had enjoyed the book immensely.
