Everything was cut and so many key characters form book were cut and most of book were not in movie!.

They spent too much time on Ball and to much on Harry and Ron fallen out.

I can bitch about this movie all day!.

Emma Watson acting was way over the top.

They added so many screen that were not even in book.

I hated how Dumbledore didit seem to be concern about Harry dream .

Harry didit tell Dumbledore about Lucius being death eater.

There was no screen with Fudge not believing Harry story.

Dobby and Winky was cut and Fred and George joke shop idea was cut.

Bertha and Bagman were cut.

Rita Skeeter had such small screen time she might as well been cut.

I don't mind the cuts. This is one of my favorite in the series. Very fast paced and absolutely enjoyable. Fantastic production design and visual effects. Has the best score in the series that's not from John Williams.

I do agree on the acting though. Some of them were bad in here.

Make a move, Reindeer Games..

Did you read the books before you saw the film?

[–] j-laurie91 8 years ago

Yes

If you hadn't the movie wouldn't make nearly as much sense and you would really miss many of the things they deleted.

Emma Watson's acting was way over the top for this movie, and the two that followed. Only in HP&tDH did her acting improve again.

They did leave a lot of crucial book points out of the movie, I agree.

First of all nothing is worse than Prisoner of Azkaban. Secondly they had to cut stuff or else it would have been a 4 hour movie. I do however concede that the transition from the World Quidditch Tournament to when they are on the train was a bit sloppy but still nothing is worse than Prisoner of Azkaban.

Don't be harsh to Emma Watson, she can't help it. Some people are just born without a talent for things.

But I want to bring up Winky and Dobby, and IMHO they were right to cut Winky. When adapting a long book into a comparatively short movie, you've got do do certain things, like cut the number of supporting characters, and that's because there simply isn't enough time to establish who they are and let them perform their function in the story. Now Winky's function in the book was to be part of the villain's household and to Reveal All towards the end, and in a book she did that by sitting there and telling the whole story. But in a movie you can't have a character sitting there and telling a long story at the finale, it'd be as dull as hell! So before the movie came out I predicted they'd cut Winky and use a quick flashback in pace of her monologue, and that's what they did, because that kind of monologue doesn't play in movies.

As for Bagman, what was his function in the story? Just to be a suspect. And well, to be fun. But while the movie could have used a bit of fun, it didn't need someone who was just there to be a suspect.
