But even then, I don't think any director has ever really grasped the essence of the book or the characters. Ron and Dumbledore are two characters who have not had good treatment by filmmakers.

My interest is mostly that the Potter movie series is the only current instance available where magical combat is portrayed or taken somewhat seriously. And it appears they're addressing the speed at which such stuff would be likely to happen as well as the utter chaos.
