vmonte here:

Did anyone else find Draco's character to be unbelievable in PoA?
Draco and gang were more like the three stooges. He was difficult to 
watch.
 
Miranda now:

vmonte you were not the only one!  I understand what they were trying to do... play up some laughs, show that bullies aren't as tough as they seem, but I think it was a bit removed from Draco's character in the books.  I think it is okay for POA, where Draco is still more of a mean bully than anything else, but later in the books, namely OotP, he becomes something else.  He's a snitch for Umbridge, and he threatens the trio on several occasions and says truly hurtful things.  Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for Draco, but I could see him being a key villian later in the series, potentially killing people as a DE, so he shouldn't be too much of a joke!

Miranda - who hopes that wasn't too OT, what I really want to get at is book!Draco, not movie!Draco anyway
