Harry Potter VI

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie this weekend and . . . found myself bored. I realize that they have to change things and take shortcuts to try to fit it all into a movie slot but, I felt they changed too much and left out too much. Like, SPOILER ALERT, they completely left out the battle scene at the end. Just didn't happen. Kinda bugged me since this is the next to the last. I can't imagine what they'll do with Book 7.

What book-to-movie doesn't leave out a lot?

In the Book 7 movie, it's supposed to be split into 2 movies so we'll see how it plays out.

But I'm sure Rag stood up in the theater she saw it in and screamed "DUMBLEDORE DIES!"
....After all, if people were "stupid enough" not too read the book in the first hour after it was released to the public, they deserve to have the plot spoiled for them.

Given that spoilers have alredy been given in this post...

Yes, the climatic Battle Scene near the end was not included, but that's because they put in the Battle at the Burrow (which was NOT in the book, but serves the same basic purpose).

And I am happy that we got some Quiddich in, even though the game seemed to have nothing to do with the Seekers and the Snitch.

Finally: wasn't Rupert Gint (Ron) great when he was love charmed? Marvelously looney...

I understand and realize that some changes will be and have to be (to some extent) made but, I just thought they did a crappy job.
