Great movie, but very untrue to the book

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2005)

I'm anxious to hear additional comments from viewers/fans who have read the book. (Did any of the professional movie critics out there read it??) Every major event in the book was drastically altered to become something completely different (or not included at all) in the movie. Yes, the acting was great, storyline was very entertaining, but it was not the book J.K. Rowling wrote 5 years ago. The past 3 movies have done a respectable job (though seem to stray from the original story with each progression). If the 5th movie deviates as much as or more than the Goblet of Fire did, I may have to stop watching! A distressing prospect, since I'm a huge fan. I was expecting true-to-book form, and left the theater very disappointed.
