Lackluster imitation of the book

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2007)

I was one of the harry potter fans set out to watch the movie on the first day of it's release, only to gather a very disappointed experience. The movie was highly manipulative in nature and deviated from the book in each and every aspect.
The movie was nothing but a collection of badly tailored scenes which in no way are related to the book. The actors seem to have lost their magic ( especially Hermione, who seem to have very little to speak in the movie). The makers of the movie seems to have wrote their own books out of which the scenes could have been gathered.Consider the following aspects 1. Members of Order of the phoenix who come to rescue harry from privet drive flew him high in the clouds, not to get spotted (with a disillusionment charm), not through the ferries in the Thames.
2. Its Susan bones who asks harry if he really produced patronus and not Luna Lovegood at the Hog's head.
3. Its Hagrid who tells harry about Thestrals and not Luna LoveGood.
4. Its dobby, the house elf who helps harry in finding the Room Of requirement and some how Neville seems to have found it in the movie.
5. Dolorus Umbridge seems to have exceptional prowess at wizardry, since she completely blew the entrance to the room of requirement (this was funny) and its Mariette, cho's friend who was the sneak (not cho, and it seems umbridge have used veritiserum given by snape on cho instead of harry ) The list goes on like this and what is more painful is the omission of the scene in which kreacher gives false information to Harry on Sirius's where abouts.
All in all the movie completely disappoints a Harry Potter fan and for a person who doesn't know of the books, the movie is nothing but a collage of incoherent scenes.
