GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Jul 12, 2007

Hello everyone,

About an hour ago I got back from Harry Potter 5.It was a great movie, definitly the best so far. The actors were good, the special effects were great, and they did a great job make it feel very, very dark. Harry was almost always on edge in the movie. The only things I didnt like were a couple of the omissions. In the book I belive it mentions that umbridge sent the dementors on him in the begining. Also, Firenze (one of the centaurs) was taken out of the movie, and the centuars did not speak at all. One of the themes in the book is prejudice and making the centuars only bellow and roar made them feel more like beasts. If they had spoken, than the prejudice theme would have been better represented. Also, Cho's friend that betrayed the DA was taken out and instead Cho gave up the information on the DA, unwillingly of course. Lastly, there were some characters that I feel deserved more screen time. Kreacher, Tonks, and Bellatrix to be specific.

All in all though the movie was amazing, and these annoyances are very small.

EDIT:I almost forgot to say this but the movie also does a very good job of keeping the other major themes of the book intact. Those themes being love, friendship, and unity.

I think I want to see that movie. Is it more like the Chamber of Secrets and the Philosopher's Stone?

yeah, sounds good, but the thing is, the 5th book, IMO, was the worst so far. harry was just going mental, sireous dies, and the fat techer pissed the crap out of me... I think the 3ed book was the best. probably going to see the movie anyways...
