If i hadn't of read the books I might have been inclined to really like the movie

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2007)

While I don't think it was a bad movie, I think after reading the book I had too many expectations for the movie to be just as good. I feel that for a movie that ran as long as it did, there was ample time to go more in depth about some of the more important parts of the book that were left out or altered altogether. I feel some of the biggest issues could have been a more involved development of why umbridge was the way she was and her disdain for non-humans, harry's confusion and sympathy for snape and doubt about his father and sirius' actions as students, and even the down played roles of jenny and luna. i could go on and on but those are some of the things that bothered me most after seeing the movie
