You don't have to adore them but you could at least realize they achieved their goal. If you aren't supposed to like them and you actually end up not liking them then the actor and screenwriter deserve a bit of recognition. Creating a genuinely unlikable character is not as easy to do as it would seem, without doing something completely ott, like having Malfoy shot a kitten on screen.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

1) The movies, but then long before the movies came out I never really had any interest in the series, the concept just seems rather pants to me
2) So the fact that the characters I have mentioned having personality traits which infuriate me is supposed to make me adore them because that's the way the author intended them to be? Whether or not they are supposed to be insufferable brats as per the text does not stop me from hating them because they are insufferable brats...
3) No I would not rather it was twilight, that's a whole different rant on the current state of fantasy genre novels that are being churned out to appeal to 12-13 teenagers (who you can't even call emos anymore, because however crap the emo fad was, at least it was slightly original compared to the hordes of beiber-clones and 'I'm trying to be angsty so I wear bright pink jewellery and fishnet gloves but I still have a sensible haircut cos mom won't let me get a [insert generic non-talented-popstar-celebrity here] do' that that generation has become) so they can get all cow-eyed over some mary-sue schoolboy and a sparkly vampire.
J K Rowling may indeed be a talented author, but it's WB who have done the damage for me, the fact of the matter is that I can't even take a piss without having to hear/see/be infomed of Harry Potter and his wonderful crew of irritating compadres, if it wasn't forced down my throat every hour of the day then I probably wouldn't be so full of nerdrage...
In retrospect of that post, my sprue-cutters I am bitter for a 23 year old!
Wow, JK that is a fantastic "angsty teen", award worthy!
Oh...oh...I'm so sorry.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
Saw the movie yesterday. Pretty good in my opinion, better than I thought. A bit slow and corny in places, but very cool in others. The Knights being reanimated has got to be one of my favorite scenes in films in general now.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, though it was a bitter-sweet ending.
Funny thing, we saw it with friends and one (who has never read the novels)
Spoiler:
yelled in the scene where Harry resrurrects "WTF?! Which n00b soulstoned a Mage!"
It had the cinema in stitches in a very intense part of the movie.
