Book reader: beware of this movie

Rating: 1/10 (14 June 2004)

SPOILERS!!! I have seen the film and am already rueing to change my decision to do so now. The reviews have already disappointed me. I'm a huge fan of HP books and films but if Cuaron has changed Hogwarts, removed the robes, altered the school grounds, Hagrid's hut and Whomping Willow, what's the use to this movie?
What is go great about Harry Potter is its different. If there are no fascinations about the wizarding world and nothing different, what's the big deal? I like jeans but HP should always wear robes.
I have heard all stuff that its darker and so better but I feel that it has been overly darkened. Hogwarts is a place to study and the safest place in the world. If its so dark and dangerous, what's the use of studying in there? Why would parents send their children to such a haunted place.
Another half hour to the movie would have been a good deed. There are hardly any explanations. What about Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs? What about Snape's hatred to Harry? The werewolf was a scum and Buckbeak lacked the essence of Dobby.
The first two films were slow but they were classical in their approach. They allowed the viewers to gulp in the tale. This one was a rush-over. Why did the Dementors looked like balloons? Why did Cuaron changed them so much? Was he afraid of the Wraiths of LOTR?
Well, readers have already accepted them as they were and there is no need to be so different. Dumbledore should immediately be changed. Sign up Ian Meckellen. He is even better than Richard Harris. Sirius should not have been shown so terrible.
I think it was great injustice to JK Rowling. I have sympathy towards her for I know what a writer feels when he sees his story being obliterated by poor direction. I too am a writer. I feel that she should step in and write the script for Goblet and in fact, bring Columbus back who managed to realize the essence of Harry Potter. She should help in the direction as well. If Goblet suffers from the same discrepancies, Harry Potter would be over.
