Originally Posted by HarryPotterHimself The writer/director of the picture totally discluded one of the main story lines in the book, along with the entire Harry Potter saga; The Marauders. This, although not directly contributing to the main plot, is essential to Harry's relationship with both Sirius and Lupin, as well as the way he looks at his father. They cut parts that shouldn't be cut, arranged things in a chaotic, ridiculous fashion, and added things that were totally un-necissary. For example, the Firebolt. Everyone saw how misplaced this was. Why at the end? It would have been just as easy in the middle. Now Ron's not going to have Pigwidgeon. Again, not necissary, but it'd be nice. The part where Lupin in werewolf form chased Harry and Hermione was totally un-necissary, as was the part where it shows Harry and his friends eating candy. Yeah, it's nice to see how Harry and his relationships with his peers grow, but worry about that when you have all the things in the movie that were in the book. The movie, in all, was entirely too short. It was actually (it's one or the other) shorter by ten minutes, or only ten minutes longer. The same thing's going on with GoF. It's only going to be 2 hours and 30 minutes when it should be at least 3 hours 15. An extra 45 minutes does wonders, and that's what should have been done with PoA. Oh, and the scenes with the Whomping Willow. One would think that they ran out of ideas and came up short. I've had people come up to me and ask what this and that was or meant because it wasn't explained clearly or at all. And the CGI sucked!!! The Dementors were okay except for the fact that they flew. They dont fly, they glide! And the sucking of the faces..... Oh the sucking of the faces!!! That was soooo stupid-looking! The Grim was aweful too. If I'm correct in my quoting, it was "...a bear-like black dog...", meaning it was a big, broad-shouldered dog. Not some back-alley mutt that had been kicked one too many times. And Lupin as a werewolf wasn't too special either. He looked like an emaciated mutant!!!! They could have really improved on this movie. I'm scared for the fourth film. | i totally have to agree on this.
but it was okay i give it 6 out of 10
to bad they had to change the director
and they totally butchered the story line.
i must say i was very diapointed with this film
but it did have Alan Rickman in it! |

| 9/10.
the actors have REALLLLLLLLY improved. I love how the movie was darker than the other two. However, they left out some scenes I was really looking forward to. Ah well... nothing's perfect...maybe #4'll be loads more exciting and dangerous... hehe |

| In my opinion,there are many things that need to be fixed so that movies are more like the books  :
1.Harry's eyes NEED to be GREEN!!! They're always saying how he has his mother's eyes when he doesn't!!!
2.There needs to be better endings. The ending to the third movie was horrible!!!
3.Hermione needs to have bushier hair and larger teeth.(like in the books.)
4.The Dursleys have blond hair.(like in the books.)
5.Draco's hair needs to be slicked back.
6.There is NO choir at Hogwarts so what was with the whole frog-choir thing?
7.Some actors overreact their parts(Hermione),while other actors don't act enough(Harry)
8.The class schedules at Hogwarts are schedluled so there are only 2 house per class and in the movie there are more than 2 houses per class.
9. Harry's crying performance at Hogsmede wasn't very good either.
I hope in the future Harry Potter films to come they realize these mistakes, but somehow I doubt it. In all, I give the POA movie a 5/10  |

| I'd give it 7/10 I wish they had put more information into the movie. I felt there was not enough background info for the rest of the movies. |

They did screw up the order of the movie a lot but i think that it was the best movie so far of all three. They probally should have done some things different like the firebolt should have been in the middle with an anyonomous owner and all. Ron should have gotten pigwegdon from sirius at the end of the movie. So the movie was pretty good but it could use some tweeks in its sequence order. |

I hope in the future Harry Potter films to come they realize these mistakes, but somehow I doubt it. In all, I give the POA movie a 5/10  | Okay here we go...
1)Dan can't change his eye colour so too bad!
2)Okay yeah I agree the ending was a bit too, omg we've just ran out of money,
3)Emma can't change her teeth if you haven't noticed, she can't just go the dentist and say "Excuse me can you make me have larger teeth" and she can't just make her hair bushy like that, plus its fine!
4)They don't like dying peoples hair! thats why!
5) Does it matter if his hair isn't slicked back, I mean is it nessercery!
6) Once again ur obsessed now, right, they wanted to add a bit of fun into it okay, granted a bit wied but who cares!
7)Hermione's ment 2 overact and does it matter if they not like I don't know crying just because the book said its hard work for them!
8)Oh this is just getting ridiculous now, what do you want them to copy the whole page in the script or something!
9)Oh for gods sake, can you cry by youself, go on honestly say that you can just cry as like he's ment to, Dan did a good job and thats all that matters and the acting is fine and yes it wasn't like an oscar winning performance okay, but they're not like Orlando Bloom whose had lots of practice, they're only young actors!
Right okay my rating on the film was about a 7...they need to work on the endings and just a bit more correctivness on the movie and yeah I did want the Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs bit, but I guess they couldn't fit it in, I guess they just needed 2 hurry on2 GOF.

| I would have to say 9/10 only because they slacked quite a bit at the ending with the firebolt, but other than that the movie was great, I think it was the best one out of the three |

| 6/10...I'm sorry but it was just too rushed and didn't have the same feeling of the book and the plotlines were messed around with. |

| This was my favorite movie so far, but I didn't like the new Dumbledore. I think he spoke to fast, and walked to fast. I didn't really get the idea that he was very old and very wise. I loved the way the dementors looked, though. I really loved Buckbeak and Sirius Black looked almost as I had thought he looked while I was reading the book. Peter Pettergriw looked nothing like I had thought he would look like. Overall, this was an awesome, awesome movie. I give it a 8 out of 10.  |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Eunice Murray Fifth | PoA I liked this film and thought that the parts where Hermione and Harry had to go back in time was really interesting. This tied them into their own fate. THe marauder's map was really neat. There were also quite a few funny parts. One of the things I found dissapointing, though, was that they didn't show the Quidditch cup. THis was supposed to be the year that Gryffindor won after a long time of loses. I wanted to see Oliver Wood too! Rating: 8/10 |
