Its Good, but not Great
As far is the movie goes, yeah I guess its a pretty good movie; if you've never read the books. As far as making a movie about a book, I think they did a really bad job. First off, yes I'm accepting the fact that they arn't giong to show every little detail, thats expected, but the thing that got me was the ones they actually used. In the book, during the dragon task they never left the area of the egg, in the movie they're flying all over the castle grounds. In the book, Dobby was the one to get the gilly weed, in the movie it was Neville. In the book the graveyard duel was great, in the movie they portrayed it as an almost unimportant event. And I was also very dissapponted with the beginning of the movie, The Cup Finals was a huge event in the book and alot of the major plots started there and I just couldn't beleive that it was barely covered and that they completly left Winky out of the whole movie. I know shes not a main charecter, but hello...she does play a decent part in the story. Bottem line, I wasn't pleased at all with this movie for its actual take on the book. The effects are good, the visuals are good, I just didn't think they did a very good job at sticking to the book.
