Fifth |  Patil Twins
One thing that bugged me in GoF was that the Patil twins, Parvati and Padma, were both in Gryffindor. According to the books, only Parvati is in Gryffindor and Padma is in Ravenclaw. Furthermore, the twins are portrayed as two synchronized robots, linking arms and addressing Harry at the same time. It seems like somewhat an insult to their book characters because they are supposed to be super cool and girls to die for, according to the Hogwarts boys.
Is anyone else a bit annoyed by this, or is it just me? |

And yea, the charcters were rather thin. In the book they had sperate personalities. But hey, if I can live with the meaningless padding of the First task, I guese I can live with this. | |

They were one of my favourite characters in the book, but the movie made them seem sort of...lol I can't find the right word to describe them. Being in the same house sort of made them seem similar, like they both had the same characteristics to be put in the same house, unlike in the book, when padma was in ravenclaw, and parvati in gryffindor.
It also bugged me the way they were never seen apart. In the book, on the other hand, they had their own seperate lives, and were not joint at all time  | |

OMG, Cookie, I agree 100%. It was so lame how they always said Harry's name together. And I didn't think they would act as though they were best friends. Where was Lavender, eh?? | |

i agree with everyone, it bugged me big time..
it was just annoying, for one i got so confused because i thought that they were in seperate houses and i thought i was losing it! 
and for two, when they'd say his name together it would just remind me of silly teenage girls being fans of him or something..
and three.. i was wondering the same thing, where was lavendar?
and another thing, just like amie said, they acted as if they were best friends.. and i have a NEVER known anyone who can get along with there sibling that well to be best friends.., but i dont know, its just they didnt remind me of the patil twins in the books much..

I annoyed me so much that they were in the same house when they weren't supposed to be. Though I think they looked how I pictured them when reading the books, even though they aren't twins. | |

I agree. The house thing bothered me, and they *were* like robots. It seemed like they didn't have personalities really. Although, the Yule Ball scene was funny. | |

I think that they should have stuck by the book on this one. Them being in the same house and the way they act in the movies you would think that they are in a trance all the time saying the same thing at the same time everytime the passed Harry. | |
