a few bad points ... (i hope these are not too revealing,
cause they have nothing much to do with the essense of the story
)
[b]1. moving too
fast
even with the 3rd book (which is moderately thick), the makers are
already having a problem cramming all the pages into 2 hrs' worth
of screen time
wonder what will happen when it comes to the 4th and 5th book,
which are much thicker than the 1st three books
perhaps, they need to adopt the same method as Kill Bill, which was
to split it into volume 1 and 2?
Yeah , they butchered the story quite
badly
2. change of actor for
headmaster dumbledore
the headmaster's role has always been one of seriousness (in my
opinion, even in the book) and a slightly myterious character
the new actor is too comedish for my liking
the character has been totally changed, again purely my
opinion
perhaps, they should've chose someone similar to the old actor to
retain the characteristics of the headmaster
have you read the book? the headmaster's
character isn't THAT serious , unless something major happens ,
he's quite comical rather.
3. change in location for
hagrid's house??!! (wtf!!)
this has got to be the worst of all
in the 1st two movies, hagrid's house was at the edge of the
Forbidden Forest and on flat ground, so why is it now at the bottom
of the hill?
to me, this is a very bad oversight by the makers of this 3rd
movie
the followers of the Harry Potter series religiously watch every
single movie that is released
certain things like this cannot be changed, as it removes the
familiarity from the 1st two movies[/b]
read somewhere that this director Alfonso
had wanted a much darker and scary environment for this movie , so
he changed the decor inside the castle and outside , so now the
castle doesnt look as "inviting" as it used to , especially with
all the craggy rocks all over the place. Kinda menacing
rather.
