THAT WAS NOT HORRIBLE, HOW WAS IT?

It was WAY too short, many things were left out(or acted out the wrong way), and the way they Sirius died didn't satisfy me or my friends at all. In the movie he fricking FLUTTERED into the vail. LIKE A BIRD. WTF! It's supposed to be a dramatic moment and it was so anti-climactic. The way Harry & Cho got to kissing wasn't even true to the book! Same with the whole Umbridge detention scene. Wasn't Harry the only one who got the skin tearing pen punishment in the book?

They had better get things right with these last 3 movies or I'll mentally slap them across the back of their heads.

I completely agree about Sirius' death... but you can't totally blame the directors or screenplay writers or whatever for the shortening and changes. I mean, the book was pretty huge so the movie HAD to cut some stuff out. And in having cut some things out, some of the little facts were changed. It's not like they were totally significant to the overall story anyway. =\

Buuuut yeah... it would've been THAT much better if they stuck to exactly how the book was written.
