I haven't read any of the books.  I just enjoy the movies. :)

My girlfriend and her mother have both read all the 6 books out as of now, and have complained about all 4 movies thus far.  

To me, it's just seems stupid to ever think that a movie adaptation will be anything close to what has been portrayed in a book the movie is based on.

You can't fit 800+ odd pages into a two and a half hour film in it's entirety.  Directors, storywriters, and producers have to pick and choose key moments that they think are the most important, even sometimes shortening moments that people feel should have been longer, or more drawn out.  It happens.  That's movie-making.

For people to get upset about it at this point, when there have been so many books-to-movies in which the same thing always happens, is just ridiculous.

/endrant

I agree, in most cases. However, the final scene between Dumbledore and Harry was one of the most important scenes in the entire series of novels... and for it to only get about a minute of face really mad me sad, especially because this is the shortest movie of the entire series... and it's the longest book so far. They could have at least had that full scene in there.

I agree Ana, it was maddening... but I like the 3rd, 4th and now 5th film the most. The 4th imo was the best adaptation. I would have rathered a 3 hour film tbh with you.

Two things I wish to mention... First.. the only thing I was dissapointed in was the fact that they took out the nametag at the ministry saying "Harry Potter: Rescue Mission." Because that is FUNNY..
secondly.. is it just me or does it seem that Emma Watson didn't do a very good job in this movie.. she seemed to pause between lines and when queued. Rubert and Daniel are getting good (probably because they are doing other things in between HP films.. where Emma isn't.. ) thats just my two cents.

Nerp, JK Rowling said to Dan Radcliffe on set that Dumbledore was giving her issues and when he asked if he'd be coming back she said no he's dead but it's a little more complicated than that. Think about it, she's refused to comment on Sirius but put her hands down about Dumbledore being dead. Aaaannnndddd, she nearly let slip about harry's heritage... or shall I say ancestor? :)

Can't wait for the book T_T

Hey Subb, mind if I ask where you found this information? My girlfriend told me not to spread rumors.  She's pissed at me now. :x

Personally I would rather not see anything on Harry Potter brought up. My current plans are to not get on the internet from the time the book comes out, till the time I finish it. Mainly just because I want to enjoy the book and let things progess as they should.

Unlce Vernon played Daniel's father in Equus. Speaking of which, have any of our friends across the pond seen it? I'd love a review. I love Equus, I'm glad it's getting such notoriety.
