Take three cups of hot coffee with you or you are sure to doze off

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2007)

Now, after watching the trailer of this movie, I was mesmerized by the scenes of this movie and ignored the harsh comments of the critics. I and my three friends went to watch this film for Rs. 130 a ticket ( please don't convert it into dollars). But after watching the film, I and my friends too were completely disappointed by the lack of direction and the terrible editing. These are some or rather, many points which I did not like in the film: 1) The pace of this film. They could have made it longer, about two hours and forty five minutes, and added more information, it could be humorous or serious.
2) Dudley stank like rotten berries. His acting was worse than even the annoying guys surrounding him and his mouth even wasn't moving. Remove that boy from the film.
3) Mrs. Figg looked so haggard like a dilapidated house unlike the book. She was shown so scared and her acting too was unfunny and a dud.
4) Hermoine, Harry, Ron and his mother, Professor Trelawney, the Weasley idiots, Uncle Vernon, Petunia, Fudge and Dumbledore in the film have to improve their acting skills. Hermoine looked like she was rehearsing for a play, Harry has to concentrate more on his emotions and how he throws his dialogs, Ron is not as funny as he was and in his little role too, he had scope of doing much better, why the heck was his mother in the film acting like a hysterical lady, she was so good in the previous film, the twins have improved but still suck, Uncle Vernon should have shown more anger, his wife in the film too was dull, Fudge was boring and Dumbledore was loud, again.
5) The editing was so bad that I felt to strangulate the person who did the editing of the film. The scenes sifted too fast.
6)Even though Umbridge in the movie was good, she was not as evil as she is shown in the book. Why did she have to slap Harry to show she was mean? There were other ways the director could've shown her bad.
7) The last battle was too brief. And characters don't glide in the air! 8) Many things were changed from the book. But these changes deteriorated the condition of this movie.
9) Why the hell was Grawp shown as a cuddle toy? The animators have lost it.
10) None of the characters were explain properly.
11) The kiss between HArry and his girl was rather vulgar than beautiful.
There were a few things that were good in the film.
1) Umbridge's room was decorated perfectly as described in the book.
2) Ginny, even in her where-is-she role, proved to be great in her voice modulations.
3) It was dark and that is a good thing they didn't change.
Overall, a no-no for POtter book lovers. I present it 4 out of 10.
