i have seen the 4th movie of the Harry Potter series. it was definitely better than the 3rd. though it was missing quite a few information and some happenings are changed, i still liked the way it was made. the movie, in full, was funny in most bits. and based on my memory from reading the book, there were changes made to not make the details complicated and the film shorter. since i have read all 6 books, my view on the movie is different from those who just saw the movie and not read the books. maybe for them, they are content with what they've seen or understand it without the minor details, but for me, there are things that should be there to make the movie more book-like. Like in the 3rd movie which sucked. for one thing, the movie ran for like one and a half hour only. MOVIES CAN BE MADE UPTO 3 HOURS DEMMIT! >_> when the movie started, or even before, i was so excited as to what it would turn out. it refreshed my memory to how things started, the prologue in the book where the Riddle housekeeper was murdered, at the same time Voldemort's come back was introduced. they cut the Quidditch World Cup scene. the first thing i noticed that was not there was the part where Harry was asked to join the VIP box or something. if my memory serves me right, there was a part where Harry noticed a house elf sitting in a chair beside Barty Crouch. where in the book, we find at the end that Barty Crouch Jr. was the one sitting there in an invisibility cloak while the house elf was used as decoy so that it won't be suspicious. (it was said that Barty Jr. convinced his father to take him to see the QWC where in fact, he was planning on something evil.) i think it was kind of an important piece in the story. since it was Harry's wand used to conjure the Dark Mark spell. (in the latter part of the book, it revealed that Barty Jr. took Harry's wand while he was watching the game) that was why he was accused of being a Death Eater. but even with that scene cut, the movie went well. let me see, as much as i am excited with the movie, and that i still have hang-over of it, my memory is acting up on me again. i can't remember some of the things that happend in the movie, or if there were more mistakes or cuts that should have been there. oh yeah, in the 2nd trial, Harry had no idea how to breathe underwater for an hour, and he was being helped by Ron and Hermione to look for something that can help him. Moody came and told the 2 that Dumbledore wanted to speak with them and left Harry hopeless. in the movie, it was Neville who told Harry about Gillyweed. while in the book, it was Dobby who brought him the gillyweed. the house elf apparently overheard Moosy talking to Snape about it and automatically stole some from Snape's stash. THE MAZE! they cut alot of stuff in the maze. like how it was really like, the monsters, the riddle, etc. all that was in it was how they got through the maze, and the bit how Viktor Krum was possessed by the Imperius curse. that's all i can remember for now, i want to see the movie again. and i will on Saturday and i won't be alone. BWAHAHAHA! now i can't wait for the 5th movie and the 7th book that ends everything. but there's been rumors that there would be an 8th book since Harry is not planning on going back to Hogwarts on the 7th. i wonder wht J.K. is up to.. I CAN'T WAIT! gonna read the books again! hopefully on December when i have break on everything. /gg [edit]i think Cedric Diggory is cute. haha. i see that they updated harrypotter.com[/edit] feeling:
