If you like the book, you will hate this movie

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2007)

Absolutely lots of unnecessary changes from the book (e.g. Mad-eye Moody did something in the book, but it will be Sirius doing it in the movie).
I appreciate the fact that the movie can't cover every single little details from the book and will need some clever adaptations to fit into the ~120mins limit, but the adaptations are badly done, every character in the movie seems shallow and unreasonable and the plot feels jumpy. For example, the Dumbledore in the courtroom for Harry's hearing looks agitated - not exactly like the Dumbledore described in the book! How much extra time would it takes to have Dumbledore conjured up a comfy chair on screen?! Also, I was so angry when I saw the bit about Dumbledore asking Snape to give Harry the Occlumency lesson! It makes Dumbledore to be such a short-sighted person!!!
The special effects are great and the Luna in the movie is as good as I can imagine! Disappointed with Umbridge though.
Overall, very disappointing!
