[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3645886, member: 20741"] Exactly so. I have read the books, though it's been a while since OOTP. Of all the movies, why on earth do they make the shortest movie of the longest book? WTF? Who, pray, decided that was a good move? I cannot imagine this movie making sense to someone who has not read the book. Hell - I've read the book - and the movie barely made sense. This one easily wins the worst of the five so far. My fave is still PoA, followed by #1, #2, #4 and now this, a distant on the horizon 5th. The astonishing thing is that they rehired this director for [I]Half Blood Prince.[/I] My hopes for the next film are vanishingly small. Luna was very good, agreed. Though her role in OOTP through her father's magazine as the counterweight to the Daily Prophet was left out. Then again, it seemed like virtually everything was left out of this movie. A half hour more of film really WAS necessary. Also, while Luna came off very well, I rather thought she was [B]too pretty[/B]. On film, she seemed like a natural love interest, while in the book, she was described as a plain jane loopy outcast that I always pictured far more as looking like the ghost in the bathroom in [I]Chamber of Secrets.[/I] Quibbles with her comeliness aside, she absolutely nailed the role. Anyways, I have come to enjoy this series of movies, but I'm not going to excuse a sub-standard hatchet job just because I like the overall brand. This was a poor Potter film. Compared to [I]Prisoner of Azkaban[/I], it doesn't even rate. [/QUOTE]
