Weird - there was a debate about Christie Malry in my list of last year as well! I liked it a lot, even considering the cringey Renaissance flashbacks - though the soundtrack did contribute a lot to my enjoyment of it.
Harry Potter 3 was pretty good, but like you, I came out lamenting to all who would listen, "What happened to Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs?" If you don't know they were all childhood friends, the stag bit makes NO SENSE!
And Van Helsing was way too cheesy for my tastes. I like quirky cheese, not horror cheese, evidently :)
