It sure looked pretty.....

I think some of the "magic" was sucked out of this movie! I am a devout Potter fan, and have enjoyed the three previous movies for what they were. As an avid reader, I never expect books to measure up to movies, but as long as the essence is caught, I'm good. Part of ROwling's magic is to insert details (seemingly small ones) at various parts in various books, and turn them into a larger story line later. I feel like the next movies are going to have to be dramatically altered. WIthout going in to all huge parts left out and all the "twists" from the original story that other reader did, suffice it to say that the whole think went by in a blur. No significance was given to anything. You don't feel passionately about anything! Not the fact that Harry is Prentiss (because of the absence of Sirius), not the struggle in the tournament, nor his developing crush on Cho. I was severely disappointed by Dumbledore's representation, but as always, loved Ron's!
