If the movie wasn't as choppy i would have enjoyed it more. while i was sitting there i felt rushed and like the movie was put on high speed. i know they can't fit all the detals rowling put in the book, but extend it to 2h and 30m or something like that to smooth it all out and leave more time at the end for the important stuff.

These things keep getting worse and worse. It was like Harry Potter-clip show, they just jumped from another scene to other without much connection.
Bleh. I'll stay with the books.
I 100% percent totally Agree with you for the firt time i actually didnt really like the movie except the 2nd time i went to see it it was much better fro some reason........ but over all i think it was a stinkie one for me they better not mess up with the next one or ill be mad 😘
Well I thought it was the best of the series.
Although a lot was cut I still enjoyed it as it was meant to be, an adaption. Although I would have liked to see them tieing thing together a little bit better, I still thought the movie was amazing.
I loved the last battle. I didn't want it to end. It was amazing.
What always amazes me is how they find the PERFECT cast.
Bellatrix stole the movie, she was amazing. As was Luna. They were both DEAD on. I don't think anyone could do a better job.
Dude I thought the movie was freakin awesome!! I mean I didn't really like how it was only 2 hrs and there were a few things they needed to add in but left out but they portrayed it really well I just wish it was longer the real disappointment to me was that unbridge shouldve been a little larger and toad like but its ok I guess also they lied when they said cho told about the training in the book I believe it was spose to bve her friend Heather I think her name was and that there was a spell cast on every person in Dumbledores Army so that if one did tell they would get pimpiles on their face that spelt out a word if I'm thinking correctly but the ending was played out very well it was more than I actually expected and idk if any of u noticed but the Weasley brother that left his family alone Percy was his name the one that believed Fudge instead of his own family is back he showed up in the movie but I pretty much loved it all but they couldve shown more of Mrs. Figg and the whole Order

I just saw the movie and I didn't think it was that bad. OK, a lot of stuff just wasn't there and the acting could/should have been better, but the action and SE were great and the movie got the main part of the book and that's what the movie is all about.For me it was the best HP movie so far.
iEveryone needs to except there is a large portion of the story that wont be included. It is the atmosphere and tone of the film that counts. out of all the series this had the very best acting, and unfortunately some of the most lackluster effects. did you think these effects were better than the last two?
The thing that disappointed me the most was how uneventful most of it was.
Weren't many exciting, enthralling parts. Felt like a lot of filler, although in saying that, I know they left some stuff out.
I wouldn't mind if they actually did get another director for the next movie, although this director is already signed on for the next movie unfortunately.

I really enjoyed it. I'm pretty critical of the movie adaptations in general and I didnt't particularly appreciate any of the others, specifically GoF (too many important details either changed completely or missed out altogether) but OotP did it for me. Whatever I've been looking for in the movies was there, it had It.
As a few people have mentioned, the 5th book was sort of long winded in the first place and I think the movie portrayed most of what mattered. I especially liked the fact that there wasn't all that much action until right towards the end because that's what happened in the book.
8/10 from me, and that's saying something 🙂
One thing I would have really loved to have seen was Firenze taking Trelawney's place as teacher of Divination. That was a brilliant part of the book, it's a shame it was cut.
Also, I just want to point out to those who say it's a good thing they read the book before seeing the movie; surely that's a given? It really bothers me when people suggest they don't need to read the books because they can just watch the movies. Big mistake in my opinion 😬

I must also point out that I hated how little screen time many of the actors got. Especially RON.But also Hermione, Snape, and McGonagall, but especially RON. 😐

Kind of represents Ron's feelings throughout the book though, right? Jealousy towards Harry because Harry hogs the limelight, Ron feeling as though he's being shoved to the back and so on hmm
why does everyone think that the GoF was the best movie i think it was the worst and the OotP was about harry finding himself and dealin with the dark lord thats why all the other stuff was left out i didnt like that it was left out like cho's friend being the one who ratted them out dont know why they couldnt have done that but by far the best movie
Originally posted by jasonowens4200They couldn't do the Cho's friend thing because it wasn't really important who did it. They did that part perfectly, as I think I mentioned before. They were able to combine a way to break Harry and Cho up without having to do the entire "date" thing and have Dumbledore's Army discovered at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone.

It drives me nuts when people say "Well, a lot is gonna be left out so you can't be dissapointed"
i know a lot was gonna be left out and i had/have no problem with it. however, they introduced things without explaining them properly and left out necessary things. Also, the fight scene was waaayyy to short.
