...and found it satisfying except for two problems

(This is not a nit picking thread that goes on about small changes, these are big problems that could affect the films later on or thigns that really ticked me off , i understand unlike people that a whole book can't usually be put on the big screen without some changes)

1- the patronus , Now in the book the patronus is a shape (usually a animal) which attacks the dementor driving it away (like a battering ram). In the film it was like a giant energy shield , that annoyed me since it made no sense from lupins explanation a patronus is like a shield are his exact words in the movie. So if it was a shield then why did it turn into a stag hmmmm

2- Werewolf lupin, What the hell was that thing , it was not a damn werewolf it was a dog with elongated limbs by the look of it . i expected a werewolf in it's transformed state to look similar to the ones in underworld/van hellsing

The Ones
1. have no idea why

2. can you blame the director for doing something a little bit more original instead of just going for a cliche look?

I saw a patronus beast in the movie, it just comes when the shield did its work, then the beast comes right?

Ok. If you remember, before Harry could actually produce a full patronus, he made white mist come out. That shield thing was the mist. He only used a real patronus once and that was to save himself and Sirius at the end of the movie.

It was difficuly to see but the stag was there... Though, I too think it would have been better for it to run down the dementors...

Nah, even though this is magic, it seems more plausible for it to just appear as a prolonged muzzleflash rather than a moving representation of a stag.
