WOW!!!! Did we all watch the same movie... or better yet, read the same book?

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2010)

1. Not only is the scene where Harry receives the broomstick not in the beginning, but we see Harry practicing magic under his bedsheets. As shown by the second movie/book, practicing magic is not allowed outside Hogwarts. WTF? It's like they want me to hate the movie already.
2. We don't find out how Ron's family got the money to go on vacation.
3. The Firebolt takes too long to appear. WTF???? AT THE END????
4.Dementors flying???? In the book(s), they do nothing more but hover above the ground. The same thing happens in the 5th movie, just as annoying.
5. The knight bus scenes were WAY overdone and too wacky. And the shrinking head was just cringe worthy.
6. Quidditch players do not have numbers on the uniforms.
7. Also is it me or did Hogwarts look really small??? Compared to the first two movies where it looked grand and epic. Major effects/design fail.
8. Pettigrew is supposed to be short and stubby, not taller than Sirius.
9. Gryffindor winning the Quidditch cup is not shown.
10. The punching scene was so overdone. Without the line from Herminone it just feels like a run of the mill scene in any movie with a girl punching a guy. And the clichéd "That felt good" line just crowned it.
11. The Shrieking Shack. First off it's not SMALL. It's supposed to be HUGE. Secondly that scene ended before it even began. It reminds me of the ministry of magic scenes in OOTP where it was reduced from many rooms into one giant room.
12. WHERE IS CADOGAN???? Without him the entire movie didn't make sense!!! That's like cutting Aragorn from Lord of the Rings!!!! 13. The whole film just felt really rushed, like they were focusing more on the action as opposed to the important scenes in the book.
14. The best thing about this is that at least Cuaron won't be directing another Harry Potter movie.
This just hurt my soul. Thankfully Newell redeemed the series with the best yet, Goblet of Fire.
