I finally saw OotP today

[mortalus]

About two minutes after I woke up, I got a call from a professor I do some work for. He's in New Zealand right now, and he called to catch me up on all the stuff he wants me to do by the end of the month (i.e. before he gets back). Well, that was great, except when the call was over, I was left with twenty minutes to get ready for the movie. I am

They cut out so many really cool scenes. The book is so much better! The film was a real disappointment to me. Maybe I need to rewatch it several times without a stupid dubbing and think it over.

I guess it's hard for the films to disappoint me since I have such low expectations going in. All the movies suck compared to the books, but unlike the worst of them (PoA was nearly unwatchable, IMO) this one was decently entertaining.

Yes, I hated how much they cut out of PoA - about the Marauders, etc. But I liked the atmosphere of the film, and Radcliffe's acting. Whereas OotP was more like action for the sake of action ans special FX for the sake of special FX. The only thing I liked about is what I always like about Harry Potter: Voldemort.

I wish Voldie was in the books more. We probably won't even see him in the next movie :( :( :(

We'll see Tom. Though if they really replace Coulson whom I personally loved as Young Riddle there's really no point in showing Tom at all. And I heard rumours there will be no orphanage Tom...

[mortalus]

WHAT WHAT WHAT?! No orphanage Tom?! *sobs* That's one of my favourite scenes... :(

[istne_pieklo]

My point exactly! That's what I heard. I already hate those damn studio bosses, or producers, or script-writers, or whoever cut that out. Maybe we're gonna get it at least on DVD. Those chances are next to nothing((
