I loved the scene in the movie much better than the way it was handled in the books, though I enjoyed both versions. I felt that it was too drawn out in the books. Though they certainly deserved all that celebration, at the same time it started to get a little repetitive after a while. The scene in the movie was simple and touching, though yes, a bit cliched. <P>During that scene, though, I leaned over to my friend and whispered, "There's one for the short people!" In his ear . . . that was amusing.
