The director, in my view, had a very good go at adapting this book for the screen, as it is (in my opinion) the worst book. I can't really comment on the plot twists as I knew what was going to happen anyway, but it was very well acted by both the child actors (Luna Lovegood being the standout actor - head and shoulders above the rest) and the adult actors. Umbridge was perfect as the auntie who'd rip your head off and then worry about the blood stain and Helena Bonham Carter was also very good as Lestrange. Some actors let the side down (in my opinion Daniel Radcliffe overacted although everyone else made up for this with their performances). Overall, a very well acted piece and a pretty reasonable adaptation of the source material.
This program is possibly one of the funniest program on television. Brooker bitingly analyses TV and (very occasionally) doles out praise. But mainly the fun comes from when he gets on obscure or dire programming and subjects it to his sarcasm. That's where the fun begins. He is the most sarcastic person that I've yet to see on television. He is so scathing that occasionally I actually gasp and laugh at his comments; practically a first for me: this man is that good.
Overall, one of the funniest programs on television. And one of the greatest cases for leaving in all the crap of it: let this man comment on it for evermore.
