I completely agree with Ouch! ;_;

By and large I've felt the films have gotten better as they've gone on and quite enjoyed the fifth one. I'm not terribly looking forward to this one, but I will go and see it.

Personally I felt that HBP was written with too much fanservice and while it wasn't my least favourite, it certainly wasn't my favourite (which was GoF).

Anyway I've been pretty disappointed with how the movies have been going as a group and individually (OotP especially) I really need to look at who's directing this one and so on.

Trailer looks good though.

Eh, I don't like the movies as they stand alone. I feel more like they're a compliment to the books. I'm sure this one will be the same.

the problem with the films are that they just plays of the books! thats why most people don't like them as much, if the adore the books!
unfortunately im one of them! i love all the books and the films disappoint me! This is not just because of plot points that they tend to miss out but because the films don't have the type of essence the books have!
The big problem with OOTP(m) was that even though the film was dark...it just wasn't dark enough! There was extremely important plot points that they missed out! even though we all know it must be really difficult to have made a 956 page book into a 1hr and 30 min film and even though they left the most important things in, i just feel like the essence of it was lost in translation!
Spoiler: Hopefully they might be able to cram all of the unsaid things they have left out of movies 1-5 in the 6th! from what i have seen and read HBP hasn't skirted over barely anything in this film! they have appeared to have left in ron and the chocolates, lavender has a part in this one too! even Marcus belby(although only a small part, which i think is good as the actor who played him tragically died in a stabbing in London a few months back)
Dobby and kreature have to be in this one even though i think that the could be easily left out! if they are ill never bad mouth the movies again!

I'm re-reading the books at the moment. I forget how much good stuff they left out. Ouch! is right, they left out some stuff which becomes important later on.

However, the trailer has got me more excited to see this, and how they do the whole Spoiler: Penseive thing. Also, I can't wait to see Dumbledore's death scene!

It will have been hard to guess what was important when all the books weren't out. Now that they are, the films will be more faithful.

I always thought all the films were great. They're never going to be as in depth as the books, so I never expect them to be.
