I also think you have a good point...although in my
case POA is my LEAST favorite book...I did go in with
high expectations of loving the movie...and was
disappointed....Maybe I expected to much....
After seeing it a second time...I liked
it a little more..One of my biggest gripes with the
movie is the change of layout on where things should
be
ie The steep hill to Hagrid's hut in this movie...It
was just totally off from the other movies....Even the
towers at Hogwart's looked different from an outside
viewing of the school.
  Each director will change things..but in my opinion,
they should at least leave the basics in tact and keep
the established scenery the same...You can add ageing
etc without a problem..but when you go from a gentle
slope to a steep slant...that is to much.
  I also hated what they did to Draco(I always liked
the character). It just doesn't fit with his image...I
cant imagine people looking up to or following someone
who is so whiny and scared....Malfoy is looked up to
(at least in his house..)and I cant see that happening
with his portraal in POA...A lot of bullies will back
down when confronted but this was extreme...
