What I liked about the movie (Spoiler)

I love movies, always had, but when I compare them to the book on 
which they were based I always feel disapointed. I think the movie 
stuck to the facts, focusing only on the main story line and living 
secondary characters behind. The dialogues were pretty much copied 
from the books, which I liked, but when they were said by a different 
character it was disturbing, shocking and almost painful.

On the other hand, I loved the interactions between Sirius and Harry, 
it showed love. In the books after PoA, I've been expecting some 
serious scenes with the two of them, I wanted them to talk, bond, and 
just be around each other. I think I got what I wanted in this film. 
I enjoyed their huggs, their glances at each other. I liked it at the 
beginning when Harry wanted to join the Order and Sirius gave him an 
approving look, really liked it. It was as if they understood each 
other, they were in sync. It was really touching. 

I think the producers threw a low punch in the final battle scene 
when Harry and Sirius are fighting the DEs together and Siruis calls 
him 'James'. It was as if they were trying to say that Sirius was 
crazy, and confusing the two of them. I don't think Sirius has ever 
mistaken the two of them, he is very clear on who they are and what 
they mean to him. Just like Hermione and Mrs Weasley said during the 
book, that he may be confusing each other. It's just unfair. Maybe I 
feel this way cause I'm a huge Sirius fan. But I just don't like when 
anyone talks bad about him.
