Amie:
Me too! I'm not quite sure what I was expecting...but it sure wasn't 
what I got!



DD:
I agree with you, my daughter too...We were expecting POA movie to
give us more of the interrelationships between Harry, Ron and
Hermione, <snip> More realistic and more likely would be 
bickering/arguing, or even teasing...just makes no sense...

<snip>

I just think that any director making a HP movie should at the very
least read the book.. If Alfonso had read the book...I think a movie
of a slightly different flavor would have been made; and we as avid
readers see this. HP is a character driven story; because we do not
know the entire plot until the end..


Amie:
I couldn't understand why things were left out and changed around. I 
knew it was going to be different than the book, but I agree that it 
seemed like Alfonso hadn't read it. I really didn't get all of the 
random shots of the whomping willow, birds, etc. If they hadn't put 
all of that in, maybe they could have fit in more story line!



DD:
My daughter and I read the book again before going to the movie...It
was very disappointing to us.. I hate going to see a movie and not
getting at least 1/2 the buzz I had reading the book. Actually, for
me, I used to read all of the books in the series all the time...but
after the movie POA... I skip over POA more often than not...

This means that the movie dampened the book for me...and that's
pretty bad!!!Extremely bad actually, since I've read all books but
POA well into double digits..


Amie:
When I first saw it in the theater, I didn't think it was that bad. 
When I watched it on DVD after it was released, I didn't think it was 
that bad. Now, having just reread the PoA book - I can hardly stand 
to watch it. I get though most parts ok, but I just hate the end. 
It's done so well in the book, I hate that they changed it. I think 
it makes me like the book more though. I can appreciate the story and 
details that I know aren't in the movie.
