Very accurate compared to past movies

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2007)

I thought #5 was so much more accurate than any of the previous movies. I really hate the way they made Goblet of Fire, they cut out so many things that a lot of HP fans thought were major aspects of the book. Phoenix leaves most of the small things in, the inner office memos (paper airplanes) that fly around the ministry of magic, Umbridges cats all over her walls on plates, Hagrid soaking his cuts from Grawp with steak. Even some of the lines the actors spoke were right out of the book, word for word. The only time I remember this happening in GOF is when Voldemort says "kill the spare." The fight at the Ministry is cut way down, but they do have to make cuts for time reasons. The only thing that really made me mad about Phoenix is when Sirius dies. I bawled like a baby when Cedric died, as much as GOF sucked, at least they got one scene right! LOL When Sirius died, you don't really feel anything, you know it's coming and they just didn't make it very dramatic in my opinion. And the veil isn't as described in the book. In case you haven't seen the movie, I won't say anymore. I really think this is the best movie by far. Having read all the books several times and seen the movies, I am normally very very angry after leaving a new HP film and this one actually made me smile when I was leaving. Oh and the girl that plays Luna is AWESOME!!!! LOL
