It was not the Hermione Granger saga. Kloves bores me.

I'd have to disagree. Kloves has carried this story on his back for several years. Considering the length and intricate story line each book has he has done quite a great deal. Without the Screenplay writer there is no movie.

You have to remember though the books may be completely different to the movies they are both good in there own rights. He has continued to deliver a solid script (excluding ootp because he didn't write that one) and I have to applaud him for it. Sure lots of scenes may of gotten cut out but that doesn't mean they weren't in the script, that part comes down to editing.

Could he of done better? Probably, but if another writer wrote the script we'd probably be here today having the same argument.

I wouldn't say Hermione got all the lines, she got some great ones you'll always remember but other characters got deeper quotes.

Anyways I appreciate your opinion as we all think differently but yeah sorry I just felt the need to defend Kloves.
