there's something about harry...

seriously.. i was disappointed.

was going "what the.." at many parts of the show, pissing off Han and Harris (who apparently didn't read the books)

why so many unneeded GLARING inconsistencies with the book? I mean, I understand the need for compressing parts and so on, but some inconsistencies were downright pointless lor.

1. since when did Beauxbatons turn into NOT ONLY a all-girls school, but also an all-Veela school? sheesh... and speaking on that matter, since when did Durmstang turn all male?!

2. can someone explain the ridiculous scene at the Death Eater's attack on the Quidditch World Cup? ok, I don't mind if you take away Winky (cos elfs are seriously annoying), but honestly!? Harry can just be left there like that!!?

3. what the hell happened to my favourite maze? where's the sphinx?! i paid $9 to see the bloody sphinx and only got to see stupid entagling roots and hedges that squeezed you in.

4. did Dumbledore have a character transplant or something? since when did he get so agitated and whatever?! same goes for Hermione and his befuddling love preferences.. gosh

and then comes the point I don't get. you say you wanna shorten the movie, yet some scenes are stretched inexorably long for no particular reason.

1. what's the point of harry bringing the hungarian horntail on a tour-de-Hogwarts?

2. what's the point of staying in the maze so long if all it will do is just to entangle them!?

3. why the fricking long underwater scenes!?

SERIOUSLY.

oh well.. the movie had some reprieve, namely the scene of Malfoy being turned into a ferret, Myrtle cosying up with Harry and... bleah.. that's it...

and is it me or when the reviewers said the show turned darker... they meant it LITERALLY? why was the whole movie so literally dark that you couldn't see the faces well at first?! maybe it's the theatre I dunno..

but overall, bleah.
