Yet again Harry Potter doesn't live up to expectation on the big screen

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2007)

This is much like Azkaban, in that if you haven't read the book you will find this film enjoyable. However seeing as millions do read the book I can assure you disappointment lies within.
*Spoilers* Mrs Figgs character in the book is a lot more fierce to Harry after the dementor attack (which was laughable, as someone already pointed out, you don't poke them in the eye) in the book, but in the film she seems to be out of it, on another world even. And there's no mention of her being a squib at any point.
Then the argument in the no.4 pivet drive is extremely weak, Uncle Vernon is not angry, he looks like he's coming onto Harry if anything, only one owl, which isn't a howler so shouldn't be talking, but should be read. The film forgets the other letters where Harry is reinstated, and the howler from Dumbledore.
We get no explanation as to who Tonks is, or why she can change her appearance, in fact the only name she is given is Nymphora, only those who read the books will know she is tonks, and will already know why she can change her appearance at will.
Ron and Hermione aren't made prefects, which they were in the book (someone also incorrectly stated Harry wasn't made quidditch captain, this doesn't happen in the Order of the Pheonix) Hermione seems to know everyone she introduces Luna to the group, despite never meeting her herself, also when did Hermione learn about the Room of Requirement? The less I say about Umbridge the better, the film is extremely weak from the book that it makes you wonder since the Chamber of Secrets whether JK Rowling actually approves them first?
