Disappointing, too much missing.

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2005)

I wonder if they thought we wouldn't notice? Where were Dobby and Winky? Winky was an important part of the film especially regarding Barty Crouch Jnr. I was also quite disappointed that in the pensive scene the trial was never properly explained, and other characters that will become important in future were completely missed. Hagrid is back as caretaker and not care of magical creatures teacher as he should be, and the part regarding his parentage is glossed over completely. Blink and you missed it. The annoying Rita Skeeter was so insignificant i wonder why she was there. My personal opinion is that it was maybe too big a book to take on, there is really just too much missing. Finally the maze, where were the magical obstacles to overcome? Agreed a talking sphinx could be troublesome, but what about Hagrids Blast ended skrewts? Surely someone could have come up with something !
