I sense a disturbance in the... no wait, wrong movie.

Rating: 3/10 (8 March 2007)

This was definitely not an HP standard film. At least the others followed the books somewhat closely. This was way off. For example, in Order of the phoenix, Dumbledore says to Umbridge: "I cannot allow you to manhandle my students, Dolores." Yet in this movie he is quite happy to manhandle Harry himself. They completely changed the scene with the dragon. Since when did Harry have a mad scrabble across the castle roof trying to escape the Horntail? They ruined the maze as well. Hedges that grow evil roots and smash together? Please. I wasn't too happy wit the portrayal of Mad-Eye Mody, either. He didn't make me think of the portrayal of Moody in the books. He wasn't battle scarred or missing half a nose. And a metal shoe for a foot replacement? Where is the famous clawed wooden foot I have come to recognize? Where are the skrewts? Do we ever see Rita in her beetle form? There are so many things wrong here I couldn't list them all on a twelve foot sheet of paper, using the tiniest print possible.
In short, this movie was definitely the worst of the HP films.
