Film #1 was excellent and to my mind the best. Each character was interesting enought to stand alone. That character balanced changed in Movies 2 and 3. Ron is turning into a doofus. Dumbledore is becoming a mischievous Leprechaun. Hermiione seems increasingly tentative and Draco is so same-same, he's teetering on the brink of boring. And Harry isn't having any fun at all. What's up with that?
