Rating: 2.0
Dissapointed also
Worst of the 4 movies and a dissapointment. Too much movie time wasted on unimportant happenings while truly entertaining things from the book were completely left out. Did we really need to waste so much time watching the Weasleys walking through the woods or climbing up all those steps at the World Cup? was the Yule ball really that important to the plot that so much time was devoted to it? What was up with the dragon getting loose and chasing Harry all over Hogwarts? Why add long scenes that didn't even happen in the book? or why drag out scenes (the bathtub scene) that could have been kept short so other scenes could have also been included? I would have preferred that they had spent a little more time working on the screenplay to make a more cohesive film that made more sense. It would be hard to cut the book to a 2 1/2 hour movie but I think it could have been done much better and made more entertaining. The Weasleys getting stuck in the Dursleys fireplace would have been great. The movie needed more of the magic and delight present in some of the other movies. I can rewatch every Harry Potter movie over and over and still not get bored...except for this latest one. I find my attention wandering away. It just doesn't "feel" like Harry Potter... It has a few good moments....but jumps around too much.
