Missing Important Scenes

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2004)

Warning.. *spoilers* below. Don't read unless you saw the movie or don't care. I confess that I did read the book first and later saw the movie to see how the effects came out and such. The first movie was a pretty good translation and the second wasn't too bad, but the third movie was quite disappointing. The characters also didn't seem to keep they're usual dress routine and started wearing street clothes. I do say that the movie was really sped up much faster than the others as the biggest problem. Guessing how the book had 100 extra pages at least, they had to really squeeze the action to keep a balanced budget. (I wouldn't have minded a longer movie though). In the end, they completely threw out the part were Harry reads his godfather's letter and finds that there is quite a stronger hope for moving away from the Durselys after all. Instead, they put in a new scene were Harry gets the fire bolt (Supposed to be in the middle of the movie!) and flies towards the camera with a hilariously sad fade to credits...
