- I love the HarryPotter series, and i'm a huge fan! I have an HP T-shirt, coloring book, ive read all the books like 4 times, and own all the movies :) But I must say that the 5th movie dissapointed me, it had its good parts dont get me wrong but there is so much stuff missing in my opinion. I have heard some reviews from my friends saying alot of stuff was missing from the book too in the new 6th movie! ughh sorry man, your good, but the other directors for HP were better :/

- Yeah! I too loved the whole serie of HP, but this last movie, not only wasn't dark at all, but the last part was PATHETIC. The DA fight, the funeral, that's 2 parts should have been the main parts, and, especially the funeral, should have been majestic and powerfull as no other parts in the series, 'cause is the moments in wich Harry understand that his fate will be to chase Voldemort. In the way Yates put it, it seems like Harry Ron and Hermione are going to a pleasure trip! AGAIN, PATHETIC!
- Robin MacDonald Krynicki at 8:54pm on July 16th, 2009
- I completely agree. You can't fit a whole book in a movie, but this movie is so far off the mark. And why that whole cornfield and Burrow-burnng? The worst was Haryy "watching" Dumbledore die without being stupified? Like Harry would just STAND THERE? Please re-read the books before you do the last 2 films. Please. The Order of the Phonix was great, and so should the Deathly Hallows.

- Love your work so fare till HP6 - why is the ending soooo wrong?! I'm furious at your choices: missing the whole DA fight with the death eaters at the end, and the funeral missing was so very disappointing - makes me not want to see any more of your film interpretations of HP7/8. I read and re read the series and love it - so please: make these last ones full, dark, and as good as 3-5 HP!!
