This has to stop...

Rating: 3/10 (20 April 2006)

OK so I started reading the HP books after the 2nd movie was released. And personally I think the first 2 were although not complete still pretty accurate for a movie and keeping the feel of the characters. But in my opinion everything went downhill when they changed directors after the second movie and Richard Harris passed away.
The *Magic* is truly gone from the 4th if not already on 3rd movie. Most actors are pretty good but most characters are way to old for the character playing them. And they didn't even tried to make them look younger. Also school robes are apparently not enforced anymore cause about 75% if not 100% of the time they're all wearing expensive brand jeans,tight sweaters now. Major plot holes like how Crouch and Crouch junior are related remains a mystery throughout the whole movie and instead of in the book being on trial himself he's being snitched by Karkaroff. The most illogical event followed , instead of staying calm on his seat and throwing it on lies and no proof "cause there really wasn't any at that time" like every sensible human-being would do he suddenly starts to act like some deadly psycho killer with some very weird "habits" before being hurled off. One thing also noticed is that this movie is much more chaotic than the others because of the suddenly scene changes leaving us all oblivious what the hell just happened and because of Dumbledore...
Cause simply, Micheal Gambon is actually the worst cast in the whole movie. Instead of being sensible, calm and wise like Dumbledore "even on the verge of his own death" he looks more like a drunk violent stepfather that hasn't got a clue what's going on. Like in the books illuminating calmth into others this guy tries to tackles Harry or how you call it "mandhandling his own student "not to mention favorite student" and shakes him all through the room yelling at him.
How the hell can he ever confront Umbridge and threatening her that she can't manhandle students on Hogwarts when she shakes Cho's best friend and shouts at her. But the directors will probably alter it anyways so you might be seeing some tag-team action in the 6th movie. Or just even better just not include it all. Like they do with so many important aspects of the story. His bad acting is probably the reason he has shown he doesn't want to read the books and just...acts himself.
I was honestly stunned how they completely leave out key-players for the future movies and the most crucial moments. The Graphics are getting better every movie but I almost regret I've seen 3 and 4. One of the best things about HP was that the complete book was intertwined, facts that weren't important from the older books come back later and you can say "hey so that's why it was there"...
