I was going to start this with, "I guess he was as faithful as he could be," but I take that back. Yes, of course he couldn't include everything, because it's a movie-- not a book. And it can't be too long. But there was so much that could've been in there, that just wasn't. He was about as failthful as keeping the plot line, and that's it. One small thing that kinda bothers me is the Firebolt. Why did he get that at the end? Off that meaningless detail, the film did have a darker feeling, as did the book, but I expected alot... more. A big part of the book was how hard of a time Hermione was having, and that wasn't shown at all. In the book, her two best friends were mad at her, she was struggeling with all her classes and trying to help Hagrid with his trial. The trial wasn't looked into as much as it should've been. I also think they didn't elaborate all the things that made people upset. I've found no one else to agree with me on this, so perhaps I'm just delusional, but I think all the times they got angry, it was, well, overreacting. Like when Harry freaked out when he found out Sirius was his parent's best friend. That scene wasn't set up well at all. First, I was a bit confused how Harry could go in and out of the room, while invisible, without anyone noticing... even though he opened the door both times. But it should've been set up like it was in the book, with them in the pub. In the movie, when Ms. McGonagal started discussing it, she acted like it didn't matter. I think the whole discussion and revelation of this information, should've been in a much darker, depressed feel, but they discussed it like everyday information and didn't even give that much information, and Harry proceded to take off (somehow unnoticed) and cry (somewhat badly)when honestly I didn't think it was that big of a deal. And when Hermione punched Malfoy... now, don't get my wrong, that was some pretty awesome stuff, but he doesn't come through as mean as he does in the books. I think, at least. I also didn't get how Harry just assumed Lupin had been his dad's best friend. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, since the film really wasn't that worthwhile, but I can't remember a time when Lupin said they were best friends... of course I could be retarded. I also wonder how Lupin and Harry randomly ended up together. It didn't develop the fact that they were friends enough as it should've, so all of a sudden they'd be walking in the forest. I don't know about you, but there's no way I'd be seen walking with Ms. Frieberger out of school. I also missed the part where Malfoy and his sidekicks are the fake dementors. I do think they portrayed the whole scene where Harry does the final patronus and he thinks it's his dad very well. I do wish they would've showed Harry's flashbacks though. The fear for Sirius wasn't shown well either. The whole wizarding world was in sort of a panic and none of that was shown. There's so much more I can say, but I'm sick of typing and this is all sort of randomly put together, rushed and done rather badly... oh wait, no, no that would be Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
