Courtesy Reminder - Harry Potter- NO SPOILERS PLEASE

However - the films "ruined" the novels for me.

 

I know exactly what you mean. While the first couple movies were pretty good, as the books continue to get larger, more and more has to be left out. With Order of the Phoenix it just pissed me off. So much was cut, and the whole begining sequence with Harry's trial and everything before Hogwarts was so scattered I actually doubted that someone who hadn't read the book would get it.

 

Sometimes these things have to be expected, like with the Lord of the Rings movies. Tom Bombadil is no where in the movies but I dont really complain. To be able to take everything out of a book and put it into the movie would be pure insanity but I think that since Goblet of Fire the movies are starting to degrade.

 

For anyone who decides to be lazy and just see the Harry Potter movies your just punishing yourself.

I thought, for what they had to work with, they did a pretty good job on OotP. Though I would have gladly sat through a 5 hour movie if they could have included everything in the book!

 

& I finished DH, and I REALLY LOVED it!
