It could've been better

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2006)

I was a bit disappointed by the fourth installment of the Harry Potter series. As an avid reader of the books, there were quite a few things missing from the movie, and they got under my skin.
For instance, in the movie, Harry is given Gillyweed by Neville. As all book readers know, Dobby the House-Elf gave Harry the gillyweed right before the task. Moody (in the book) later comments that Neville should've mentioned it because he gave him a book on Herbology at the beginning of the year.
One very memorable moments in the book, is sort of dismissed in the film. From my understanding of the text, Harry and Cedric walk a certain distance until they get to the grave. In the movie, they simply arrive there, and Voldemort and Wormtail are out of sight. Cedric's death was also highly disappointing. There was no drama or emotion, just "PLOP", he's dead, let's move on.
I felt the film didn't need a PG-13 rating, as there was nothing overly scary or emotional.
I hope the next movie doesn't blow as much as GOF did.
