It's impossible to create a real Harry Potter Movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2007)

Okay, some people will wonder why with the title of the comment comes a score of 8/10. It's simple. The movie, in its own rights has its merits. The problem lies with the way Rowling writes. She has a way of telling a story that grabs you, gets you involved in a very detailed and extensive plot, doesn't let you go till the end, and leaves you wanting more. It's impossible to capture that level of detail on film in a decent amount of running time.
Anyone who has read the books will feel really disappointed. The movie jumps from scene to scene, doesn't go into detail and leaves out a lot, but I think it's not possible to do a real Order of the Phoenix movie. Since J.K. Rowling increased the page count of her books, the writers of the movie had to leave a lot out in order to be able to tell the story from start to finish, even if it seems awfully rushed at times.
Now, the film has a lot of stunning visuals, fast-paced action and, in by itself, stands out as a great movie. The actors did great in portraying the characters we all know and love and the atmosphere was great. This is why, even if I'm disappointed by a lot of things, I'll give the movie an 8/10.
