I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, and I was very excited for this movie to come out since this was my favorite book in the series.
But i was a disappointed with how much they left out. For example, they left out Hermione's whole S.P.E.W. thing with the house elves which is mentioned again in later books. Also, Neville didn't give Harry the gillyweed, Dobby did. But there was one part that i was extremely mad at. The maze, of course. They left out everything that happens in the maze(and i was looking forward to seeing that), and not only that but they made it EAT people and also wind would blow out of no where and the paths would close! What's with that? When i saw the movie in theaters, i had to explain some stuff to my friend who has never read the books, so i'm guessing it was somewhat confusing to others who don't read the books.
I think they should have had an intermission or something because if you think about it, the 5th book is longer than the 4th...how much are they going to leave out of that one? And that will be even more confusing to those who don't read the series...
