Harry Potter POA; Too many changes???*may contain spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2004)

MOSHI MOSHI. I have to give props to the new director for taking on a continuing movie series first of all. That being said, he made a few... let me rephrase that a lot of mistakes. Coming from a book fan, the first two movies were splendid, however The Prisoner was a movie I have mixed feelings for. The got the main points were covered, but a lot of detail was looked over. My main beef with the detail was the lack of explaining Harry's fathers relationship with Lupin, Black, and Pettigrew. If you havn't read the books you cannot appreciate the marauders map as much, and you might be confused as to why Lupin knew how to use it. They did not explain who Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs were. That erked me hardcore. However the hippogriff was done above my expectation. Without the hippogriff I may not have liked the movie at all. Fabulous Casting. Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and Emma Thompson as Proff. Trelawny, exactly how I pictured them. Michael Gambon did his best at Dumbledore, however no one will ever replace Richard Harris, an all time classy guy and a beautiful dumbledore. But the neglect to Rowlings detail makes this my least favorite Harry Potter movie yet. I look forward to The Goblet of Fire (my all time favorite Harry Potter Book) due in November 2005. I do suggest that Harry Potter Fans go see it, but take heed when taking children with you, the dementors might be a little scary. Oh yeah, one more thing. THE EXPELLIARMUS SPELL WAS REALLY WEAK AND THE PATRONUS CHARM IS SUPPOSE TO BE A STAG!!! GET IT RIGHT. BUT THE HIPPOGRIFF WAS COOL BETTER THAN DOBBY. IT WAS REALLY COOL. ***what the bloody hell was that all about***
