Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.

Rowling's seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.ĭespite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty and unbearable sacrifice. and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams.

Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey.

Here are just a few things on Harry's mind: Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror? I'd say it's basically a standard high-budget film.There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. Great special effects, good enough acting (I wouldn't go so far as to say it was amazing). Overall, it was a decent enough movie though. It's an 800 page book! LOTR books were only 400-600 pages and the films were considerably longer than any of the harry potter films.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't be the least bit disappointed if the film-makers simply came out and said "this book is too long to put into a single film with out leaving out a lot of the book and changing a lot of other parts, so we're releasing it in two films." It's completely understandable. I personally would love to see more of the "boring" parts of the book simply because it's interesting seeing a high-budget Hollywood interpretation of what was in the book. You don't get much of that when a 26 hour read is condensed into a 2.5 hour film. JK Rowlings 5th book is amazing and full of mystery-the Ministry not agreeing with Harry,the Order of the Phoenix and the tragic death of Harrys godfather. I think a lot of what people enjoy is looking at the wizard world, seeing cool looking spells, and generally learning more about everything to do with the harry potter universe. It's just a tad short-sighted to say it wouldn't work with a harry potter film.

Lots of "stories" have had to be split up into multiple films and they all worked great. Look at the matrix 2&3, look at pirates of the caribbean 2&3, look at LOTR (it's all one continuous story). But what can anyone reasonably expect? I went into this expecting exactly what I saw, it's still just a tad annoying hearing people talk about how impossible it would be to follow the book. So many great parts were skipped over, rushed with ridiculous cliché transition scenes, or simply changed because, apparently, it's impossible to include everything.
