Have fun! heart

Well, I don't think any of the HP movies have exactly been works of art....so it's not surprising.

I beg to differ. I thought this was the best movie yet. Kept closer to the plot of the book; great character development and characterization, symbolism of light, dark, and birds, as well as growth of acting prowess from most (if not all) of the actors...the special effects were top-notch, too.
my qualms were with leaving out Snape's key line at the end and Rufus Scrimgeour. neutral hrmph.

I'm seeing it for my birthday next week - dragging Mum along ha-ha, the only one I have to spend my birthday with I still love the third movie the best. No idea why, it just worked.
Which line did they leave out, Disco?

Azkaban XD

Sirius FTW

I liked how close it kept to some parts of the book too, though they could've done better on the ending parts... Would've liked Scrim, but they made him sound like he was going loopy rather than ignorant. >.> Snape's line, I forget too.

Hated it the first time I saw it, and then liked it a tiny bit better the second time around.

I laughed at inappropriate places in the movie. Bellatrix's crazy AD/HD two year old dancing at the end and the Inferi all looking like Gollum did me in. I was really waiting for one of them to bust out a 'My Precioussssss!'

They left out too much stuff for me to have really liked the movie. I know they can't fit everything in, but some of the stuff they left out was vital to the plot. Dumbledore said next to nothing about Voldemort collecting trophies, for example, so from my point of view if all Harry had to go on in the next movie was the information given in this one, he'd never be able to find any more Horcruxes. There were just too many obvious gaps.

And... (detailed spoilers) the obvious, huge mistake that was the Death Eater attack on the Burrow. The problems with that scene:
1. The Burrow was Secret-Kept, so there's no way Bellatrix and Fenrir would have been able to get that close.
2. If Death Eaters had really been able to get into the Burrow while Harry was there, Voldemort would have simply shown up and just killed Harry right then and there. He wouldn't have missed that kind of opportunity.
3. Okay, say the Death Eaters only after the Weasleys and had no clue Harry was there. They still wouldn't have left anyone alive. We don't read about attacks where everyone survives and is unhurt.
4. Only two Death Eaters? To take on the Weasleys, while two Aurors were there as well? Voldemort doesn't like bad odds; he wouldn't have sent out that few to attack such a prime target.
5. Bellatrix and Fenrir, really? I seriously doubt Voldemort would have sent his tie to the werewolves and someone as faithful and powerful as Bellatrix just to cause a bit of mischief if there were more disposable Death Eaters available.
6. The Weasleys just stood there and let the Burrow burn. Um, last time I checked, they have magic. They could have just put the fire out.

Oh, that scene made me so angry. lol.
