Hmm, whoever told you that lied. It follows the book.
It's not as detailed or as complete as the book, but that's not to be expected. I read one review today which mentioned that this film would be "hard to follow" for those who haven't seen the others / read the books. Err, yeah, but then how many other continuation sequels would you watch without knowledge of the first films (discounting star wars for obvious reasons).
I thought that this film was very good. I didn't realise when I saw it but it's over 2 1/2 hours long, and, for me at least, it went by very quickly. I don't think that it would have done anyone any favours to include historical "catchup" information for people who haven't seen prior films. It's not hard to see the other 3 if you want to, or pick up a book.
I'm a bit of a Harry Potter geek and I've not really liked any of the other films, in fact the last one I stopped watching halfway through cos I was bored.
This ones my favourite book so far so I was prepared to be disappointed but I wasn't. It made me laugh, it was thrilling too even though I already knew what was gonna happen, and it made me shed a few tears!
I'm just gonna try and view the films and the books as separate things from now on cus I do think they missed quite a lot out...but not so much as if you've not read the book you won't understand whats happening in the film.
Gonna go and watch it again this week
Ginny got lines, Fred and George were really funny, Ron was better, in the other films the have dumbed him down. Hermione still overacts a lot, which is great in the right circumstances but its in every line nearly.
I though that the Death Eater scenes were great, really menacing and threatening. Voldemort was portrayed excellently, but I wanted to be repulsed at the pre-cauldron Voldemort. I wasn't even mildly disgusted! I cried a bit when Harry brought Cedric back. Moody was madder than in the trailers, which was good. I still love Snape. Dumbledore is still wrong.
Generally the plot made sense, but the books are better. I think it should've been a 15 in some parts though, they're kidding themselves if it's a children's book after the 3rd one.
And quite worryingly I found Dan Radcliffe attractive. he is 15. I'm 19. that can't be right...
It's not like the third film where the director assumed everyone had read the book, and therefore missed important things like where the Marauder's Map came from, and why his patronus was a deer.
I thought it was a really good film. The kids are getting to be quite good actors, the plot was followed without making it eight hours long, and Clemence Poesy's bottom is simply divine. The film was really well cast, Frances de la Tour, Ralph Fiennes and Miranda Richardson especially.
I didn't notice it in the film, but the band was Jarvis Cocker, Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway. I'd pay a fortune to see that lot play a gig together.
Emma Watson will be a right corker in a few years, and she is a bit too sexy for a fifteen-year-old already. Erm.
But yes please.
No idea what that means! They're on megaupload, i'll PM you it anyway.
Ta for the link.
I agree with all of the above, except the bit about Dan Radcliffe being attractive. However, Robert Pattinson...at only 12 days younger than me I'm sure its ok
I know I was a bit worried about the Dan Radcliffe thing ...
Robert Pattinson is fit. Is it wrong to find Alan Rickman as Snape attractive?
It is NEVER wrong to find Alan Rickman attractive
Cos I can TOTALLY understand why Mia wants him in Love Actually.
But erm, yea...just went to see the film myself there and tis very good though they leave loadsa stuff out. Dragon=kewl.
One thing though: Is it Hermione's character to be shrieking and almost crying every time she speaks, or just the actress (about whom I agree with Kermit)? I don't remember her being that annoying in the other films.
