All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

Yush.  tongue  It's understandable that it's not perfect; movies and books are different.
But I'm still disappointed.  big_smile


•In Harry's escape from the Dursleys, they were supposed to fly to different spots and take portkeys
•If they burnt down the Burrow in the previous movie, did they rebuild it or something?
•Fleur isn't all magnificent like in the books ( tongue )
•They didn't celebrate Harry's birthday (later they cover up for it, when Hermione says "Oh, no! We didn't get to celebrate your birthday party! Ginny and I baked a cake..."
•They rushed into the Ministry, rather than spending weeks planning
•Ron's polyjuice potion in the ministry wore off way slower than Harry and Hermione's
•Harry and Hermione danced together as if they had feelings for each other, when they never did
•Hermione didn't complain enough when Ron left
•Ron wasn't moody enough
•The gloominess from wearing the locket never affected Hermione
•The scene when the locket opened was so over the top (how could Ron see where he was stabbing with all the smoke, too?  tongue )
•The sword didn't have rubies in it
•They were supposed to find out about the sword's venom from Griphook, Gornuk, Ted, and Dean rather than a book
•Harry didn't talk to Krum at the wedding, instead he only saw Xenophilius' necklace
•Bellatrix wasn't evil enough  tongue
•Wormtail didn't strangle himself and everything
•They didn't show Potterwatch

I'll type more later...

EDIT:

•Harry's Patronus used in the Ministry didn't look like a stag; it looked like a white cannonball
•Kingley's lynx patronus wasn't clear; it just looked like an orb
•Their escape from the Ministry was so much bigger than in the book
•They didn't give Kreacher the fake locket
•They didn't go into Regulus's story about his death and everything
•They didn't show Lupin arriving at Grimmauld Place
•They never used the invisibility cloak
•They didn't discuss the Hallows and everything
•They never showed the Taboo
•They were caught by Greyback by who-knows-how, not saying Voldemort's name
•Harry called Voldemort "You-Know-Who" when there was no need too
•Overdramatization  tongue
•Hermione didn't get her throat cut
•Dean Thomas wasn't shown at all
•They didn't show Bill and Fleur at Shell Cottage or anything
•Voldemort wasn't supposed to cast his ultra-pwnage lightning thing after grabbing the Elder Wand
•Luna's house didn't explode because of the Death Eaters, it was the Erumpent horn

EDIT:

•When Harry's wand shot golden flames, they didn't make a big deal about it
•Hedwig didn't die to save Harry, she died from a missing curse
•Hedwig showed who was the real Harry, when in the books they found out because he disarmed someone
•Dobby didn't get a proper funeral (in the book, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, Luna, Bill, and Fleur were all there)

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

Actually, the reason Harry said "You-Know-Who" instead of the name was because it was Tabooed. But they didn't do that in the movie. AND THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT.

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

When I said "no need too", I was talking about their situation in the movie.  wink

But HOW COULD THEY MISS THE TABOO???  mad  It's how they were caught in that cafe, too!

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

Wow. I was really hoping that, since they were breaking it up into two parts, they would stay true to the book. They always have to change something, don't they?  sad

Yeah... the movies would be so much more fun if they didn't change everything so much.  hmm

At the list in the topic post - wow, that's a lot. >_<

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

Not reading the book since it came out, I looked at all these and I was like "WHO THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE."

I seriously need to reread the BOOKS. Not the movies, I hate them (OPINION). THE BOOOOOOOOOOOKS.

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

really? they stuck to the book much better this time. However they should have gone over the taboo. but other small things don't make as much of a deal. like the patronuses, they can only take full form in concentration. if it's rushed they won't take full form.

No. Just no. How could they screw up that much in what's supposed to be the best movie EVER?!?!?! I seriously wanna call them up and tell them bit by bit what happened in the book.

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

Why did they have to wear the locket in turns at all?  Why not carry it in the bag?

Also, Dobby is in every book aside from 1, they delete him in all movies aside from 2, then bring him back just because they absolutely have to.  Where was he for all that time?  Africa?

•Kingley's lynx patronus wasn't clear; it just looked like an orb See above.

I still think you're making too big a deal on some of these things. because in the time they were there, bill & fleur couldn't have done much.  hmm
Edit: Besides, you don't goto the movies to see an exact representation of the books, you'd be better off just reading the book.  tongue

maybe not the most, but one of them. the half-blood prince was WAY too centered on harry+ginny. This crushes it by a longshot.

Re: All the fails in the new Harry Potter movie (warning, spoilers)

This was definitely the movie that stayed most true to the novels. Try making a fault list for one of the other films; it would take up over a page. Over all, I was pretty impressed with the movie, although I would also have liked to see the taboo shown.  smile

//O RLY?//
•Wormtail didn't strangle himself and everything
//Yah, they messed up there//
•They didn't show Potterwatch
//That was kinda important, but they needed to cut it out//
I'll type more later...

EDIT:

•Harry's Patronus used in the Ministry didn't look like a stag; it looked like a white cannonball
//Almost all the patronuses look like that in the 5th movie onward//
•Kingley's lynx patronus wasn't clear; it just looked like an orb
//Read above//

//Not really, well, a little, but they made sure to keep everything major//
•They didn't give Kreacher the fake locket
//That was important and the messed it up big time//
•They didn't go into Regulus's story about his death and everything
//Read above//

//That was minor, but still should have been shown//
•They didn't show Bill and Fleur at Shell Cottage or anything
//They will, but the split prevented it//
•Voldemort wasn't supposed to cast his ultra-pwnage lightning thing after grabbing the Elder Wand
//Yah, they didn't have that in the book, but it was so pwnage that it dosen't matter//
•Luna's house didn't explode because of the Death Eaters, it was the Erumpent horn
//Yah, but it was minor and cooler that way//
EDIT:

•When Harry's wand shot golden flames, they didn't make a big deal about it
//Ok, I guess... but they should have talked about it with olivander, in the next part//
•Hedwig didn't die to save Harry, she died from a missing curse
//Details, details//
•Hedwig showed who was the real Harry, when in the books they found out because he disarmed someone
//Yah, minor, but still they should have fixed it//
•Dobby didn't get a proper funeral (in the book, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dean, Luna, Bill, and Fleur were all there)
//I know, poor Dobby...//

In all, I think most of the things they left out were minor, but they did mess up a lot.
