Sometimes it feels kinda disrespectful to JK Rowling when they change too much don't it? even tho I know she supports some of these decisions, I mean I understand you can't fit everything into a 2 hr 30 min film with the later books and things need to be changed abit, but when things are in the film and they change it, that probaly should not be changed...yeah it annoys me sometimes...

but usually I dont mind small changes

sometimes things from books dont translate well on screen in my opinion, In somewhat long Example... DD not petrifying Harry, but making him go hide at the Tower and also what I've been hearing from several ppl that recently seen it, that we dont see DD hit with the Killing Curse and it is somewhat Obscured, but I think they say done very well in a way its not ruined... I personally think it would of looked bizzare if we actually saw him get hit and fly off the tower, It's just kinda hard to picture it looking right..I think we see snape cast it and it immediately goes to Harrys (I'm not sure if he sees him get hit or not, but I know he sees the falling) reaction and perspective, and then he looks down and sees him falling...but yeah thats my example of a good change from book to movie.

I apologize for that loooong text and going abit off topic XD

Anyways the sectumsempra scene makes me feel bad for Draco tho, him breaking down like that into tears, and almost dying in less than 2 mins
