Yeah, unfortunate.

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2006)

It is unfortunate, though they left out a few vital details. That they could've wasted another ten minutes on to address.
Such as the whole Rita Skeeter is a animagus, that's a big bribe in the fifth one, how will they fix up that? I mean, ten more minutes won't kill you. I mean, look at 10th Kingdom or Gone with the Wind, I'm fine sitting down for a few hours and watching a good movie, especially if I'm OBSESSED with the book it is based off of.
Also, they left out a lot of components from the maze, it's not suppose to move! It's suppose to actually have things in it, I was looking forward to seeing some Blast-Ended Skwerts, too. xD Also, they left out the whole Winky/CrouchJr Azkaban plot. That was a whole underlining base to the bloody plot, they didn't even explain how they did it. AND Voldemort did not explain himself, as he did in the book, sure that speech took a while, but, man, it explained a lot of things, like why he survived, and what not, they address that, but so briefly you can miss it.
Also, when being held by the gravestone, it's obvious, he could've easily gotten out of it. They should've stuck with Pettigrew and the binding charm thing. >.> Yeah, just a portion of my frustrations at them, I'm so glad that the rest of the books aren't //that// long, I want NO reason to why they left things out, I mean, jeez, it's like their producer read the one book he was about to make the movie on, leaving out a few vital points, he should've realized at least some of it was important. >.> I mean, wasting ten or so minutes on the preparation for the ball? Jeez, with those, you could've explained a lot more stuff.
