What did you think of the last Harry Potter movie?

Question

Am I the only one who thought it murdered the book and is wondering where the hell J.K.Rowling was? Why did they add the scene where the Weasly's house gets burned and take so much else out???

THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm constantly saying this, and everyone tells me "well, its not the book, so don't complain."
But its supposed to be a visual/audio of the book, so yes, it should be as much like it as possible.
Biggest issues I have:

-The Millenium Bridge was not built until 2000 (hence the name "Millenium") and the movie takes place in 1996-1997. Even the Death Eaters can't destroy something that hasn't been build. It was the Brockdale Bridge that was destroyed.
-They screwed up the beginning soooo badly! I'd've loved to see the scene with the Dursleys. It would've even been better if they started from Dumbledore and Harry leaving Number 4, but nooooo they had to add Harry flirting with the stupid waitress.
-They were on the roof of Borgin and Burke's because...?
-THE WEASLEY'S HOUSE CANNOT BE BURNED DOWN, THERE ARE PROTECTIVE CHARMS AROUND IT TO KEEP DEATH EATERS OUT!!!!!!!
-They screwed up the Harry/Ginny kiss scene!!! It was supposed to be after the Quidditch match in the Gryffindor common room. Harry and Ginny simply cannot have their first kiss in the same place as Harry and Cho did.
-Harry does not down the entire Felix Felicis (which is also the wrong color, its supposed to be gold). He gives the rest to Hermione, Ron, and Ginny during the Battle of the Tower.
-There was nothing about Dumbledore freezing Harry or anything!!!
-THEY FREAKING LEFT OUT DUMBLEDORE'S FUNERAL!!!!!!!!!! I ALMOST SCREAMED DURING THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are probably more that I forgot and will remember when I watch it again.

Sadly, this is mostly J.K. Rowling's fault because she had to approve the script and everything. I have long thought that they should have a group of fan consultants to make sure the movie is correct.

Wow! Good to know it wasn't just me! Everyone kept saying how great it was.The first movies were SO much better! They only left out small things and they didn't addlib so much! I was SO looking forward to the Harry kissing Ginny scene and they screwed it up!! (Thanks for all the answers!)

Answer 2

No you are not the only one. I was shocked at how dreadful the movie was. You're right, it totally butchered the book and I don't get why they added that random scene. It's like the main theme of the movie is Harry and Ginnys relationship. It's about Dumbledores death! I am so angry!

Answer 3

No, I didn't think it was as good as the other movies, it was probably the worst actually. Who knows why they made those choices. Draco barely even said much, he was too busy crying all the time lol---I like Tom Felton, but it was funny how he looks way older than just being a few weeks away from the last movie.

*edit* Aw, Josh C, you made me feel reaal bad lol

Answer 4

It was unrealistic - No actually expects a ginger person to have TWO friends AND A GIRLFRIEND!

Nah but seriously it was pretty poor.

Answer 5

I liked it, i thought it was just as good as all the rest, i think it's one of those series where you can't like one movie better than the rest, there all equal in my books.

Answer 6

Crap.....no offense, it just was

Answer 7

The movie was rubbish, the point of the book was finding out about the horocruxes and that dumbledore dying. In the movie it left viewers no knowledge of anything. Plus in the movie it axed the last 4 chapters of the book and instead had daniel radcliff crying( which irks me because in the books harry was a badass, not a freaking titty baby) I mean seriously there was a huge fight scence that didn't happen, what about the quidditch? And that wasn't how harry and ginny fell for each other. And what the F*CK was with the opening scence! harry can't be out of the freaking house and people watch and guard him, but he has time to go ride the subway for fun? are the kidding me? where are all the weasly brothers? I hated the movie

Answer 8

just didn't do it for me normally i am normally on the end of my seat with harry potter but not this time
