"I love you guys, you know that?" That was my thought, too.
poorly to mixing with butterbeer?
I saw it last night. I too felt that there was quite a bit cut from the book that would've made things more understandable. However, I think that the
Potter franchise of films have developed into more of a supplement to the books and less of a series of standalone films. I think they've also given into
the fan image of Snape as somehow dark and dashing, rather than the greasy small-minded man that he started out to be. In particular, Alan Rickman is wearing
much more flattering collars that don't make his face look fat. As for Hermione's drunkeness, I wonder if someone in the filming misinterpreted
butterbeer as an alcoholic drink. The films never really explain it, but the books to imply that it's the Wizarding equivalent of root beer or ginger beer
(and if you listen, Hermione asks for some ginger in her butterbeer when they order it). Or possibly, they cut part of the scene, and Watson's expression
came from something that the audience didn't see.
