Harry Potter "The Order of the Pheonix" *SPOILERS*

He wasn't hit by the spell in the book, I'm pretty sure that was just in the movie. All in all though that movie depressed me. I don't think it was really anything like the book.

Really? When I read the book, I distinctly remember feeling very depressed and starkly stoic throughout the story. It was very dark, but, then again, whose adolescence isn't?

I liked the book and the movie. I figure you can't judge them against each other on an equal field since one is a literary work while the other is more visual effects. I agree; the books are more fulfilling, but who doesn't love anything HP?

You have to remember, movies are very limited, much more then books are. Imagine them putting all the stuff from the book into the movie? I am sure they'd be around 4hrs. You just can't make a 4hr movie very easily. No one would want to sit in a theater for that long anyway. Somethings are also just easier for the filmers and F/X creators so they do it a different way. Think of all the F/X in harry potter, with all the spells and such. They obviously want to make it easy as possible because just thinking about doing that job makes me confused. The movie I was disappointed with the most out of the HP series was the second one, I don't know why but I hate that one.


Personally I like the movies ALOT better. I hate reading long books, and HP books are just not for me. I love harry potter, movies, etc. just not the books. My sister tells me everything anyway. You should have seen my Harry potter obsession like 4 years ago lol. I like a visual live thing, then just pages. I can't really picture the stuff, so I like the movies better. For me, it makes it easier to understand.
