Question:

Anyone else think that the new Harry potter movie was horribly brief.?

It's like they cut most of the book out to get the movie out quick and make money faster...they need to take their damned time and focus on the next one.


Answers:

The movie could stand to be about twenty minutes longer...but I think they did just fine with it. There were some shortcuts made. The book is enormous, that much should have been a given. Parts were trimmed. Parts were left out.

Here's what I don't understand: How else could it have been done? They covered the most important plot points of the book. So they left out Quidditch. No "Weasley Is Our King." It was a SECONDARY STORY LINE. When you're trying to make a two- to three-hour motion picture, you have to get to the essence of the story. And sorry folks, Quidditch wasn't the essence of this story. I doubt it will be in the sixth movie, for that matter. It's just not as important as everything else.

Everyone in the book-lover/movie-hater crowd only wants to focus on what the movie did wrong. They can't possibly try to see the merits of the adaptation. Umbridge, whose appearance was changed slightly, retained every single nuance of her character from the book. To perfection. Luna was portrayed perfectly. Future plot points and entire side stories were conveyed subtlely, a gentle nod to those who had read the books. That too-long look from Ginny? We all knew what was going on, even if the general movie-goer didn't. And it was exciting, because we knew what they were alluding to.

This movie was incredibly well done. The Order Of The Phoenix was my favorite book of the series, and it has now become my second-favorite movie of the series. The Prizoner Of Azkaban remains my favorite film of the series - mostly because I can separate the books from the movies. I don't care that they deviated so much. I've read the book. I don't need to see every word from it on a movie screen.
