Just like to say, good job on the differences. But, to help you with some of them, about when Umbridge, Harry and Hermione are in the forest, I do not think the Centaurs were gonna attack Hermione and Harry in the movie. I think they were just going to attack Umbrdige because of how she was acting.

Next thing is about Bellatrix and the final battle. In the movie, she did not Disapparate but went into a fireplace to use the floo network to leave. Last thing is about Sirius and being “killed.” When I read the book, I took it that Sirius was killed when he went through the Veil. I do not believe he was killed by the Avada Kedavra. As someone else pointed out in the comments, he would not have been able to widen his eyes in shock had he been hit with the killing curse, which is instant death (again, as mentioned).

Again, thanks for taking the time to do this though.

I loved the books but the movies did no justice. I sincerely hope that J.K. doesn’t stop with only 7 books. it was a really good series and I am upset that they had to end. I can’t imagine another
series that could match them. As for the review thank you because my wife is in college and has a compare and contrast report on a book that is also a movie so you have helped her out greatly

i watched the movie again…and i couldn’t help but notice…the six of them who went into the ministry…doesn’t that look a hell of a lot like a teenage version of ‘Friends’?

c’mon humor me…
ron and ginny, brother and sister, that’s ross and monica
ginny ends up with harry, who would be chandler
ron ends up with hermione, who would be rachel
neville, not so bright, and neither is joey
and loony lovegood is just plain phoebe…weird girl

spoil (book 7)
Dumbledore x Voldemort was pitfull in the movie, it seemed, to me, that Voldemort was wining. That is just stupid, Dumbledore was on the top almost every time, and he was using the Eldest Wand, the unbeatable wand hed had taken in a duel. So he won the duel against it and won it, Voldemort desire it and harry easily killed him just because it was his in the end. So how could Voldemort have been almost wining the duel?
For me its because The-Ones-That-Spoil-The-Book (those who write the movie)thought it would be more exciting if everyone that didnt read the book thought He was better. I hate them!

Lily Potter was a mudblood…i’ll skip ahead to book 7…watch out…major spoiler coming…
Snape dies…but not before giving his memory to Harry…from which he was able to see his mother and Snape being friends before Howgwarts…she was muggle born
i love book 7…total vindication for Snape
as for ootp…way too long if you wanna squeeze evrythng to one movie…they could have had 2 part movies…or a miniseries while you’re at it…and that would really suck

bill n fleur were in the 5th book (OrderPhoenixChap4). The movie sucked, we have all sorts of idiots hanging around forums now convinced they know as much about Harry Potter as anybody else…just because they watched the movies, the prevalent attitude being “who the fuck cares about the books? I know everything already from the movie…”

I THINK THE MOVIE GOES TO FAST BUT THE BITS I GOT TO SEE A LOT OF ARE VERY GOOD.

I beg to differ…their are a handful of whiches and wizards in the stories that ARE Muggle born, they are:

Colin and Dennis Creevey
Lilly Evans
Justin Finch-Fletchley
Hermione Granger
Ted Tonks

There is no wizard blood in these families.

@Jules:
Harry’s patronus takes the form of a stag, but the one Harry uses against the Dementors at the beginning was NOT corporeal, it was silver vapor only (and truthfully, it didn’t even look like a stag).

@AprilGem:
Harry’s mother was not a Muggle, she was a witch. Her sister, Harry’s Aunt Petunia, is a Muggle.

Harry’s mother was a muggle not half-blood.

The Marauder’s Map was in the film. Nigel had it. You see him hugging it when Harry says it’s their last lesson before Christmas holiday, and he’s holding it when the DA escape out the back door when Filch is stationed in front of the other door.

And Harry’s Patronus was a stag in the movie for a very brief moment, when it attacked the dementor hanging over Dudley.

@PratikG:
In the book, Dumbledore tells Harry, “He [Voldemort] chose, not the pureblood [meaning Neville], … but the half-blood [meaning Harry], like himself.” While Harry’s parents were both wizards, his mother was half-blood, which means that he could not be considered “pureblood.”

In the chosen one part you said that harry is a half-blood which isn’t the case. Voldemort didn’t choose Neville because he was a half-blood not harry ..hence, he thought harry was his adversary.

[...] „Geeks of Doom“ bringt in einem Hordenaufwand Vergleiche, Unterschiede, Nörgeleien beider verschiedenen Medienwerke und sammelt den Stümpertum des David Yates in kleinen Schatullen ein, der in Vergesslichkeit wichtige Inhalte der Buchreihe komplett unter Teppich und Riesen kehrte. Laut Macher fügen 17 einzelne Word-Seiten die Gesamtkomplikation. Im Gegensatz zu Film und Buch ein pures Meisterwerk der Arbeit. Inhaltsangabe gefällig? [...]
