It Stunk miserably

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 2007)

I thought this was the second worst movie in the series (number 3 being the worst). I know it is not possible to put the whole book into a movie but they left out some pretty important stuff. No quidditch, no prefects, no St. Mungos, etc. Also, why could they not follow the same timeline at least. Snape giving Occlumency lessons before holiday break. I think they could have gotten a little closer to the book. The bad thing is that because of all the stuff they left out, I don't see how HBP could possibly be a good movie. If you watch the movies and don't read the books, you are truly missing out on the story. The movies after 1 and 2 have not done the richness and depth of Rowling's story any justice.
