What were they thinking?

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2004)

First of all I am a huge Harry Potter book fan. That being said i was unimpressed with the movie being true to the book. i realize that sometimes there are certain liberties taken with movie that were books first but this movie took too many.
First of all most of the teachers were left to mere cameos. There is hardly any quidditch matches which makes me wonder if they will show any in the fourth movie.
I also don't understand why they had to change the sets and the uniforms. i know that in the books they don't wear any but the robes but i think if you make that known in the first movie for continuity sake it should be the same for all of them. i also must say that the new Dumbledore is completely wrong for this part. Instead of Dumbledore have these elaborate robes and quite yet wise ways, he is wearing the same thing the whole movie and is to much like a stoner. the last thing is what was with all the fade outs that really got on my nerves.
over all i enjoyed the movie but that was really only because of the kids. i thought they really matured and it showed. my last words are for Ms. Rowling please on the next movie don't let them cut it up like they did with this one and get a new Dumbledore.
