Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

It was decent, but it's difficult not to compare it to the book. It felt rushed (obviously, since it was). Still, with movies like Pirates 3, which are 3 hours +, I feel like they could've at least explained things a little better for people that hadn't read the books, and made it feel more lax. There were several big pointless inaccuracies, such as dementors choking people. WHAT? That doesn't happen. . . ever. They omitted a few 10 second lines of the Prophecy, too. Yes, possibly the MOST important lines of text in the entire book series, and they omitted them for TEN SECONDS of time.

I'll give it a 7/10. Even as a movie it felt. . . lacking, and rushed.

Oh, absolutely. I was disappointed, because Evanna Lynch was so excellent that I always felt that we didn't see enough of her!

Agreed I saw the midnight release of it. I thought both the actress who played Luna, and the Actress who played professure Umbridge were both excelent.

Yeah, she never talked normal. There were a few lines that were only in the movie and not in the book that were awesome. One of them was "I blame nargles. . . "

I enjoyed it. I loved the part when Harry described the kiss as "wet". I know that that was taken straight from the books, but it was so much funnier in the movie.

I liked the actress who played Tonks. Tonks is one of my favorite characters in the book.

I thought the movie was okay. Didn't do the book justice, but...

Oh, but the stuff they left out. The stuff they added!!!!

I wish they would quit screwing up the Dementors. Dementors are NOT creepy, stalkery creatures who follow people on broomsticks through the air, they actually KISS- they don't suck at people's faces like a powerful vacuum cleaner and they DON'T choke people!

Gah. *sicks real Dementors on the idiots behind the films*

I've heard Umbridge looks too nice, but you can't blame them, she wears a pink cardigan with a bow for crying out loud!

There's no way I'll lose!

Luna and Bellatrix are my favorite characters. I liked how Umbrige was made to look all innocent and stuff, and that you would know that there was something twisted about her. I LOVED THE DEATHEATER'S NEW OUTFITS!!! The ministry duel was wicked good too.They did really well on that movie over all.

The thing I didn't like about the DoM battle was that none of the kiddies got hurt like they did in the book. And it seemed a bit farfetched that six teenagers could take on more than their number of Death Eaters with relative ease.

I remember a quote from the actress who played Luna said she herself was alot like Luna and so did the person who plays Mr. Weasly.

Now here is the hunch, did you think the movie directers read the book, or even CARE if the book was or wasn't completly different than the movie? the answer is NO.

Directers want money no matter what.

but that doesn't stop me from watching it XD
