What are your views on the movie?

Spoiler:

I thought it was a awesome movie, the fight against dumbledore and voldemort was awesome but I thought they could of the developed the scene where sirius get pushed into the veil a bit more. Luna is soooo funny (she is in such a world of her own lol) there were so many cool parts but I will let you comment on some more. overall a very enjoyable movie.

Luna was great, I can't recall the actress name at the moment, did a really great job.
I loved Dan's acting in this one, he did such a good job, especially at the end in the ministry.
Pretty funny in parts too which is good.
I did find myself thinking that's not how it happend, or that's not how it should be, and I hate that lol. I hate nitpicking about movies, because it was really good, they did the best they could with a massive book to put it into 2 hrs.
Kreacher was good, I actually can't fault any of the acting at all. Helena did a great job, which I knew she would.

I just saw it! So good. I agree with what everyone has said so far.

I thought it was strange how

Spoiler:

the dementors seemed to have changed apperance.

I WATCHED IT! I WATCHED IT! I WATCHED IT! TRALALALLALALALALALALA!!!! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Spoiler:



i liked it. although david yates cut out so much, he was able to show dumbledore's army together with umbridge's bitchiness... and i liked that he put up an entire wall for ministry decrees regarding dolores. i wasnt contented with an educational decree number 27. its great that he exaggerated it and made it educational number 119 or something.

and i loved luna! luna was great. nargles... honestly i cant believe that now i like nargles. she's so cute! hahahhaha!!! and i liked it when she said "were flying" and the thestrals came.

i liked the part when sirius died. thats exactly how i imagined it. harry struggling against lupin, no sounds, except for a sad background music... yeah... but i didnt imagine the veil to look like that. it looked like a cross between a pensieve and a mirror...

i wasnt entirely satisfied with the ending. i wanted to see fawkes, not a snake. i wanted a grand duel between dd and voldie, not something that looked like the priori incantatem duel in gof. but i liked harry's scarry appearance there when he was possessed. and i liked it when he told voldemort that it was he who was weak, not harry.

i liked the part when mr weasley was attacked.

i liked the part when filch was eating sandwiches and staring at the entrance of the room of requirement, and i liked it when he was given those chocolates all spiked with some sleeping potion. hahahahhaah!!! made me laugh.. what a loser!

I liked the part when fred and george let out the fireworks. grand. like i imagined it!!!! i was actually clapping!

i liked the death eater's masks. creepy.

I LOVE SEVERUS SNAPE AND BELLA! THEY ARE SO SEXY!!! i loved the part when umbridge was interrogating snape.

i didnt like the "snape's worst memory" part. it lacked something. no greasy underpants, no lily, and i could barely see the rest of the marauders. although james potter was soooooooooooooo cuuuute!!!! harry's ugly! hahahah!!!

and i ended up liking percy. hahah... for some unusual reason.

ohhh... the harry-cho kiss was cute.

and david yates gave me a new weird couple to think about.
HERMIONE AND GRAWP!!!! hahahahahha!!!!

and he seems like a harry-luna shipper.
ginny was boring there.

but i didnt like the first part. twas not what what i expected. dudley looked like his mouth was full of something. petunia looked like an idiot. same with vernon. and figg was completely not what i imagined. i expected a weirder person.

the movie was AWESOME!!
Spoiler:


The first part was a bit weird, with the dementors changing and mrs. figg being so different to what i imagined, but then it became very good. Luna is such a good actor.. lol! i cracked up in the theatre. and umbridge was perfect!
I think that the DA was good too. they shot it well and the ending in the ministry was the best ever! the special effects were so cool!!

but they cut out soo much! i wish they included quiddich. 'weasley is the king' is funny! and they cut out st.mungo and heaps of other stuff.

still, this is by far the best hp movie!!!

yeah it was good... but yeah they cut out a lot.

Spoiler:

and the battle scene was too short. and i was so dissatisfied with snapes worst memory. but oh i so loved james. i wanted to kiss him.

oh and i didnt like the way neville's parents looked. his dad looked... well, not like neville.

and i hated it that they cut out practically the entire christmas chapters.

but i loved the escape from azkaban. oh i so love bellatrix. she's a crazy woman! hehhehehe... imagine what it would be like to be tortured by her, the crazy girlfriend of lord voldemort... ill probably be worse than insane. id rather be kissed by a dementor.

Yeah I agree quiditch would have been a nice addition, seeing ron play and the slytherins singing 'weasley is the king' but the movie was long as it is, I can see why they skipped it out. Neville and luna are such a good couple lol

I liked Mrs Figg, she was exactly how I pictured her.
The one thing they really could have made mention of and it would have taken 5 second's is Ron and Hermione being prefects.

Mad

I didn't really like this movie. They cut too much out and it was too inaccurate to actually enjoy, for me anyway.

Spoiler:

I was looking forward to seeing the Swamp the Weasley twins made in the corridor, but alas it was not included. It was dobby who found the room of requirement, not Neville. It was Cho's friend who dogged on where the room was, not Cho herself. Harry saw the scene with his father/Severus/Lily in the penisieve I'm pretty sure and not by reading Severus' memories. That scene I felt was also cut rather short, the memory should have been fully shown. Also the entire OWLs tests were cut to just the one being interupted, they really should have shown at least the DATDA OWL test as that was important to why the DA was formed. AlsoI wanted to see Hermione's Coins part. Sirius' death was poorly presented and did not have the effect or impact that it should of had.

Look there are a lot of other things I was disappointed in with the movie but I can't be bothered listing them all. While I did enjoy watching the movie, It wasn't really the movie I was hoping for. In respect to what I was expecting it was a watered down, inaccurate and poorly directed representation of what was a terrific novel. Hopefully the next one isn't as bad.

I love you. I completely agree with everything you said and I could add so many more things that were wrong. I actually watned to walk out half-way through, but my friends wouldn't let me. I'm really disappointed.

hmmm... some bits are pretty much minor that i can tolerate them,

Spoiler:

such as harry accessing snape's memory through occlumency and not a pensieve, cho exposing the DA, neville discovering the room of requirement.

hmm... i wasnt looking forward to the swamp as much as the fireworks.

but i hated that they cut the christmas part. i wanted that medieval wizard insulting ron about having spattergroit. and i wanted more of that snape's worst memory part.

and i think they should have made a big fuss out of the battle. make it longer, with more action, and stuff... it was too short.

but overall, id say i like it.

Another thing they stuffed in this film, that is really important to the books is Harry's appearance. Isn't he meant to have wild, messy hair? And not spiky gelled hair???

Yeah I was disappointed in Voldemorts appearance when I first saw him GoF. I thought he'd look more reptilian, kinda like Reptile's apperance in MK4. I was a bit upset with the "Splattered nose Peter Garett" look he had.
