1. Scobell, Jeffries, and Simhadri deserve all the acclaim given to Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint—if not more. Such good actors for such young ages!

2. MOST of the changes from the books were unintrusive and even welcome. The fact that they come with the author’s blessing makes me hesitant to second-guess them.

3. Even so, an unwelcome trend was short-circuiting the danger of some scenes by having the characters already aware of the monster, when in the books they stumble into something and only realize the threat later. This happened way too often. It also tended to make the story exposition-heavy.

4. Eight episodes rather than, say 10 or 12 forced the season to rush past some things that might have needed to cook longer. At least, we needed 8 episodes with a longer run time than we got. Again, this made things exposition-heavy at points.

7. Conclusion: Di immortales! This was a fine adaptation, and Disney had better green light the next four seasons fast!
