Spoiler: show


1. Ron and Hermione always fight when they are with each other. You don't see very much of this. In fact the only argument I recall them having is about Scabbers and Crookshanks.

2. They don't spend much time in the Divination room. So you don't get why Hermione doesn't like Treelawney.

3. The one part I was waiting to see... Harry is playing Quiditch and Malfoy and his friends dress up like Dementors and try and scare Harry. Harry uses the Patronus Charm on them and they are the ones that end up scared. It was one of the best parts in the book.

4. A lot of parts were left for people to work out the pieces. It isn't explained who made the Marauders Map you have to deduct the info for yourself. Same with the relationship between Snape and Lupin. Snape didn't like Harry's father; Lupin was one Harry's father's best friends.

5. Someone mentions a potion to Lupin before he turns into a Werewolf. This explains the reason Snape was following Lupin into Shrieking Shack. It's actually supposed to make Lupin calmer when he is a werewolf or something like that.

6. Harry gets his Firebolt at Christmas time. This is important for the Quiditch cup. Which is another semi-important thing in the book. It's the team captain's last year at school. Gryfindor hasn't won the cup in a long time. Harry on his Firebolt = unstoppable.

7. There was no going away feast or scene at the train station. While probably not that important it certainly would have made for a much better ending.


It should be made for those who read the books. I mean...if they hadn't there would be no movies. Considering all the key parts in the book it has to be 3 hours. If they cut out a lot of the Triwizards Tournament I will be severely disappointed. It's one of the most important parts of the book.
YES YES AND YES! I totally agree with everything you said, couldn't have put it better myself!
I Too was very dissapointed about point No.3 that you made! I was so looking forward to that.

I was also hoping they would make the 4th into 2 parts just for the fact that then loads wouldn't be cut out, in 2 parts but only about a month apart.

I'm really looking forward to seeing

The Merpeople! And siruis' head in the fire..
so I hope this isn't cut out or changed!

Well we'll just have to wait and see.

And to all who haven't read the books, I really must recommend you do at some point in your life! It's well worth it!
