One of the Worst Films iv ever watched!

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2011)

First of all I must explain that I am a huge fan of the books. They practically taught me to read. This is perhaps why I found the film so devastatingly disappointing. It is worth noting that if you have never read the book you may find this film to be entertaining.
The good: -The scene with the room of requirements is very accurate and entertaining. Especially with Harry saving Malfoy and Crabe dying.

Helena Ravenclaw, he scene was spooky and pretty much the same as the book. However it just seemed so rushed.

Neville was pretty much spot on. Just not enough air time.

The Gringott's scene was accurate, but again so very very rushed.

And that's pretty much it for the good.
The Bad: -The constant pointless inaccuracies to the book. I'm well aware that things must be adapted when making a film from a book. But here they seem to change so many things, some important some not so important, for no particular reason. For example some of the Hogwarts students SEEM to be living in the room of requirement, so they can hide from Snape but they still go to the great hall, when he calls them. And when the battle for Hogwarts is about to begin, instead of evacuating all the under aged students out of the castle, they are allowed to fight, and the Sliverins are just kept in the dungeons. I won't list them all, as there are far far far too many to mention. But this is the main thing that really lets the film down.
-Bits of the story that they failed to mention earlier in the films just appear out of no where, and carry on as if we've known about them all along. For example the ghost of Lupin talking about his son. Nowhere in the films is it mentioned that he has a son, and its actually a fairly big part of the book.
-Fred's death is skated over very quickly. This is so disappointing, because in the book this is pretty much the biggest death. But before you know it, its over and Fred is never talked about again.
-There is hardly any talk about the deathly hallows. No wait scrape that, there is pretty much NO talk of the deathly hallows, and it's the title of the FILM! Not even Dumbledore talks about them, and that is such a massive part of the book, and a massive part of Dumbledore.
-The entire film should have been called "Harry and the lost Cameo" because that's what it is! Every other actor just seems to have cameos.

Percy's on the good side all of a sudden. No explanation at all (a reoccurring theme with Yates, don't you think?).

-Absolutely no Dumbledore back story. This is just such a huge part of the book.
-The final fight scene Between Harry and Vol is just completely inaccurate. The whole point of Harry being the master of the Elder wand but not possessing it is that Vol can't cast any spells at Harry, and there he is shooting all sorts at him.
-Voldemort's death is pathetic, plus its meant to take place in the great hall were everyone can see it.
-One of the worst parts of this film is the epilogue. It takes place 19 years into the future. So I hoped they would have used different actor. NOPE instead they made a very poor attempt at ageing them all, by making Harry and Ron Fatter and Ginny and Hermione just plain frumpy. It's a horrible way to end a hugely disappointing film.
I can't believe the film is being so well received, and I really can't believe that J.K. Rowling is happy with this film. If you're a lover of the books then please don't do it to yourself to watch this film. Just read the book again.
