Harry Potter and the Half-Rate Movie
PostedJuly 15, 2009
bythebook
With the book fresh in my mind, the film was blatantly unrepresentative of the book. Facts were inaccurate (Luna finds Harry on the train instead of Tonks), scenes never described in the book were added (beginning train station scene), and important scenes were cut (battle against the Death Eaters), the parentheses naming only a few. Overacting was a big problem; the audience enjoyed a laugh at Ginny whispering "close your eyes" to Harry during the "romantic" Room of Requirement scene (which as it happens was not in the book anyway). The inclusion of many “funny” parts gave the impression the movie couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a cheap comedy or a cheesy soap opera. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, but this film was a disappointment.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
