How could you make a mistake like this...

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2008)

OK, the film isn't terrible, but it's certainly very rushed and aims at spitting out yet another film on schedule, rather than making it epic. There was one absolute major flaw with the script though, and I can't actually believe the producers were ignorant enough to miss it out... How could you possibly neglect the Harry - Dumbledore scene in his office at the end? Arguably one of the most emotional parts in all 7 books??? I wasn't hugely impressed with the ministry part, but I didn't care, I was waiting for that scene. What I got was a few meaningful seconds of it, in fact it was practically a transition. Here was one of the best chapters in all the books, and what did they do? They used it to quickly transfer from one scene to the next... For a moment I almost thought it was a joke, and that they'd return to the scene.
I know I'm placing a great deal of emphasis on it, but you have to ask yourself... If they're making mistakes like that, are they worthy of producing the following films?
