Imagine the Butchering for DH

I totally agree on the cut-out-facts tactics, I haven't even went to see The Order of The Phoenix yet for fear that it has butchered too severely the images my mind had produced when I read the book.

The movies don't seem as near as dramatic as the books though. When I read the books, the intensity and emotion that I experience dwarfs that of the movies. The movies are more watered down so that a family can sit down and watch them together. For example, if they made a Deathly Hallows movie and it was exactly like the book, it would probably rated R, LOL. And that means less money because it excludes an audience/age group.

I despise the films , but Deathly Hallows I'd watch JUST for the scene of Hagrid dive-bombing the Death eater.

That was so awesome 😎

I've come to accept that the films will not be like the books in every exact way, and I understand why things have to be cut out. And if you pay close attention during the films, most of the things that were cut out of direct dialogue are explained in more subtle ways.

As for OotP, I found it to be one of the more engaging films. I could really feel Harry's pain and anguish over losing Sirius, and that's a big step for me, because I hated Sirius in the books. I was quite happy when he kicked it, but the movie accomplished what JKR failed to do; establish a relationship between Harry and Sirius, and make Sirius far more sympathetic.
