Great book.... poor movie

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2007)

Book was so full of information, it would be difficult if not impossible to make the transformation. They took out so much that most of movie I felt that I was witness to repeated inside jokes, because of all the material that was mentioned but not explained... I don't think the movie would make much sense if you hadn't read the book...
Important Minor characters like Moody and Tonks are very much neglected in this movie, and the good characters revenges in the end are not shown. For example: Fred and George leaving in the school in the book was quite a challenge for Umbridge in the book, and was quite satisfying, but in the movie it was a minor inconvenience for Umbridge
Hopefully they'll be able to be more accurate with the rest of the series.
Umbrige and Luna were well portrayed though!
