[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3649998, member: 9037"] I never said it was acceptable. I had to leave the theatre and I missed the mass torture scene where Dumbledore Army's is having to write lines. That did not happen in the book in the book the only child tortured was Harry and near the end Lee. And none of the teachers knew what was happening in the book. I saw the movie again today without the child from hell behind me so I was able to sit through the entire movie and concentrate this time. I had some issues with it and I have no clue why they changed things. For example the scene where McCongeal is confronting Umbarge about the medeval punishment. She backs down when Umbarage basically says any interference will be considered sedition. And McCongeal backs right down. This did not happen in the book and it does not ring true for the character I don't see McCongeal backing down like that. To me it was totally out of character. As for it being torture I think it was awful I thought it was awful in the book but JK Rowling is writing from experience and one thing that was allowed in British schools was caning. Caning leaves welts and bloody strips where it hits . It is nowhere the same as paddling. I read an interview with her about this and she said that she considered the quill along the same idea as caning. I don't know if they still allow caning in schools in Britian but it used to be quite common. In the movie and I believe the book Prisoner of Azkeban Uncle Veron's sister ask Harry if that school he goes to use a cane that she does not hold with all this touchy feely stuff. There were a lot of boarding school stories written in Britian in the early years of the 20 th century and caning was often part of the subject. Harry Potter is part boarding school story as well as being a fantasy so Rowling drew from them for some of her inspiration. [/QUOTE]
