Ok so I saw the new harry potter movie yesterday since it's just come out yesterday...anyways I was surprised to see that the end [SPOILER - highlight to read]: was Harry, Ron and Hermione watching a phoenix go off into the sunset. To be honest I was really quite dissapointed that they didn't show it and I can't think of any reason to not have it even if they just wanted to shorten the movie, that was a scene that should have been in the movie. Maybe they'll make it a deleted scene on the DVD
Saw it today and was more than a bit disappointed...
read why below
[SPOILER - highlight to read]:
-There was no fight at Hogwarts between the death eaters and the order.
- There was a fight at The Burrow ( I was like wtf!) that had totally no use or meaning...
- The final dialogue between snape and harry without the "DON'T CALL ME COWARD"...
- Bill wasn't even in this movie, let alone that he was injured by Greyback, hence I don't see the point of Greyback being in the movie...
- The funeral of Dumbledore and the break-up between Harry and Ginny was left out...
- Rufus Scrimgeour was nowhere to be seen, as were the dialogues with the "Dumbledore's man all the way"...
- Everyone seems to know about the Vanishing cabinet, Harry even sees the one in the Room of Requirement but doesn't seem to realise...

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: 1. I agree with. That was disappointing.
2. I liked it personally. It just made it a bit more real. Plus, the book translated into the movie without tha scene would have been boring. There wasn't a lot of action till the end of the book. So... yea.
3. I forgot the don't call me a coward thing... ja... didn't remember that.
4. Bill has no point to be in movie 6. Him getting bit has no effect on the storyline except just background information on other characters. Fenrir does play a bit of a part in this book and the last so he does have some importance, but they never went over him being a were-wolf thing though. That's an issue.
5. Funeral being left out was upsetting but hell, I don't mind how they did it. Harry and Ginny break up would look weird because it'd be just like Spiderman. Let's... go in a different route, shall we?
6. Had no problem with Rufus not being there. In fact, I was thrilled! He has no importance for the movie.
7. No comment.

I don't think [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Harry and Ginny would have been like spiderman, I think it woulda been good...plus it would show how much she'd grown up since she accepted what Harry said in the book. She didn't moan or anything. Plus we never get to hear that Ginny broke up with Dean so apparantly Ginny was cheating on Dean with Harry.
Plus I think it woulda been good to see Ron's reaction to [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Harry and Ginny getting together, if a kiss can be considered that. Tbh they should have included a scene where Ginny and Dean break up or it's at least mentioned
I never had a problem with the adaptations in the previous movies. Although there is usually a lot left out from the books. The films generally capture the most important aspect of each story and usually result in very good movies. Even though i liked this last movie it is by far the weakest in the franchise. Other than Dumbledores death absolutely nothing of consequence happened. The entire movie felt unnecessary. To end the movie with Potter confirming that everything that just happened happened in vain was a most terrible way to end a poorly written movie. Like i said earlier the previous movies were generally good at focusing on the most important aspects. This one, however seemed to focus on some of the most insignificant events. I hate to complain because i did enjoy the movie. It was nice to see them explore the school, classes and relationships again because we missed out on a lot of that in the last two movies but this was one of the most important books and for them to leave out so much important information just boggles my mind.

I was fairly dissapointed at the 6th movie as well, I paid £7.25
I thought they left out all the parts of the movie that were really needed, people who see the film but have not read the books are seeing the parts that aren't really needed...I still think the 4th film was the best out of all 6

The sixth book was kinda just a filler... I think. It's more or less just a bridge leading up to the 7th and final book. The movie portrayed it well personally.

Well I'm hopeful that the 7th movie is better. The problem is that yes the 6th book was a filler...BUT, it was still actually quite good and we were able to find out some important things. But the 6th film...wasn't so great and wasn't so enjoyable
I thought Goblet was was really good and they did it pretty well The other movies haven't been so bad before, they weren't great...but they weren't bad either. But no.6 was just so terrible I was finding it to be quite boring
yeah, you're right but for some reason HBP felt significant. The more i think about it though nothing much of consequence happened in the book either. I guess it is a good sign that they're splitting up the last book into two movies.
