It was sad, they left out so much. The one that made me most confused was the prisoner of azkaban. I mean what was up with the huge clock? Alfanso shouldn't have had the students in regular clothing half the movie, and he could have atleast tried to make the landscaping similar to the movies before him.


I'm gonna have to agree with this, the books are so much better to read because you can keep up. The movies skip around way too much. Though i love the actors, the movies need work.
I agree with you. And I agree with Poppet too, Ron's hair isn't that bad.

I was just insanely disappointed with the third movie. It would have been a good movie, if it hadn't been based on a book... if anyone understands that. PoA was my favorite book, and I was beyond upset that they'd left out Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. A friend of mine who doesn't read the books (plotting her murder anyday now blaugh ) leaned over to me in the theatre and asked "How does Sirius Black know about the map? Who are Moony, Wormtail, etc...". But the first 2 weren't too bad...

Homigwtf. Poppet.
Thank you Departed Memories! It's not so bad. :3
Exactly. It makes him look a small bit cooler, in my opinion.

I just watched PoA the other night and, Dear Lord! It was crap!
It goes so far away from the book it's untrue. And the golden trio are running around most of the movie out of school robes.

The moment it finished I was out of my seat ranting about how wrong they had got it and about all the things he hadn't explained.

Gah! scream

I generally though that the movies were good. They left a lot of things out, but the acting was good and it gave me a pleasant two/two 1/2 hours.

I can't wait for the fourth!

The movies are rubbish - the book's are better. But I watch them 'cause there are a few laughs in the movie plus Tom Felton is - how do I put this - attractive in my opinion!

Saw the new trailer for GoF when I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I squeed so hard and clapped when it ended. The cinema was full... haha I suck.

I always get excited about the movies, even though I despise them. My Year 12 TEE exams finish the DAY BEFORE the release so I'm going dressed up to my local cinema with one of my fellow obsessed friends for the first session xD Then I'll complain about it for weeks...

I have to say I dissagree with you about the landscaping. The lawns in the first two movies were wayyyyyy too perfect. It just didn't seem liek somethign to be found at hogwarts. I personally didn't mind the movies, although I must agree that they did leave out a lot of things.

Three things that annoyed me to no end though were:
1.) harry's eyes are GREEN not blue as so seen in the movies (or at lesat some of them)
2.) dudley's hair is blonde in the books
3.) Hary doesn't get his firebot at the end of book three, he gets it about right in the middle of the book, unlike the movie where he gets it right at the end.

But all in all I think the movies were okay...but I'd still prefer to read the books. (the books are 99.999999999999999% of the time better than the movies that follow.)

Ia ctually kind of liked The directing style for the third movie, although it didn't work for the third movie it might have worked better for another movie of some sort. *shrug*

I generally liked the movies, they were'nt the wonderfull epic of Lord Of The Rings but still they were better than some movies I've seen. I liked the layout of the grounds in the third movie but other then that the first two movies were way better. They should have put way more of the Marauders in there and Remus looked nothing like I imagined him.

I think they're going to have another director for the rest of the movies. (Oh man, I certainly HOPE that's true.) So we can probably look forward to that. I was doing the same things you were doing. I ranted about the third movie for so long haha!

That's a link to a picture of Mad-Eye Moody... Not exactly what I was picturing when I read the book...
The trailer looks amazing though!
