Misses most of the book out!!!

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2009)

I love the Harry Potter series and I have to be dragged away from them, so this film came as a big disappointment.
The film missed out lots of the book and changed key parts that matter to the rest of the series. What about Quidditch? This is when Ron goes through all his nervous moments. What about the whole Weasleys Wizard Wheezes? That was a brilliant chapter in the book when they left but it was barely touched in this awful film. Why don't they tell the audience that it was Professor Umbridge that set the Dementors on Harry? Now I get started onto the acting, many of the actors are brilliant. Alan Rickman as Snape, Rupert Grint as Ron, Gary Oldman as Sirius, Julie Walters as Mrs Weasley, Maggie Smith as McGonagall and Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid to name a few. But some of the others need to read the books, Daniel Radcliffe was brilliant as Harry Potter in the first two films but he's gone downhill. Dumbledore, when Richard Harris portrayed him, he got it spot on, calm but serious. What does Michael Gambon do? Portray him as a grumpy old man who shouts at the students when Professor Trelawney has been sacked. Dumbledore would never do that. As for Emma Watson, again great in the first to films but now I don't see her as Hermione, she is a bit too uptight and although Hermione does break the rules she wouldn't say: 'I mean, it's sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules.' It's just so un-hermione ish in my book.
So that's my rant over. I just hope the next film is better because it is one of my favourite books. Please note that everything in this comment is from my own opinion and I know that other people will have different opinions.
