Not remotely like the book

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2007)

When I read the fifth Harry Potter I absolutely loved it. I've read certain parts probably more than twenty times. The movie was nothing like the book at all. What really annoys me and my friends is that the fifth movie didn't even suggest that during Harry's fifth year he does have a little bit of fun and quite a few laughs. The movie leaves out extremely important things that need to be in it and I'm not sure how the sixth one is going to work at all. Hermione Granger, Ron Weasly and Draco Malfoy's parts were all pretty much non-existent. I'm almost sure that Fred and George have more lines than Ron and Hermione. Luna Lovegood is really the only thing that seems to come directly from the book, without much change. The actress, Evanna Lynch did a fantastic job and her voice has just the right amount of the "dreaminess" that the books describe it has. Not only that but the character herself is portrayed well and you feel quite a bit of sympathy for her. What I suggest you do is read the books then rent the movie if you're bored and find all the things they changed, left out or added to the movie.
