Firstly there was not a single mention of Quidditch, which disappointed me as this was the year Ron became keeper, and Harry, Fred, and George were banned from Quidditch. Other things left out include when Hedwig was intercepted and hurt, and they met Sirius in the fireplace where he was almost caught.
And the worst part.. Harry NEVER kissed Cho. That just made me angry to see that one happen. Well I think i'm done ranting on about the disappointment of the 5th installment in the movie series. Woo

Err, actually, Harry DID kiss Cho in the movie. (Or am I hallucinating?)

The one thing I loved about the early movies was the Quidditch matches.
To see the Wronski feint - would be magical. Maybe they can film a 'great Quidditch matches of all times' movie or something. (I know they won't - but it would be great if they did)

To not show winky in the Goblet of Fire was also ridiculous. Without winky - there can be no 'SPEW'. Without SPEW the significance of Dobby's burial, of the elves fighting alongside wizards simply isn't as significant.

All this makes me more and more determined that they should do a mini-series so they can get all those great moments. I'm beginning to wonder if the movie writers even read the books or just the cliff-notes

You'll be very glad to know that EVERYONE messes up sometimes in their posting! Everyone forgets something or gets something mixed up! And it doesn't help to have the movies shifting thing's around, does it?

The only thing worse than keeping track of movieverse when you've got bookverse invading your mind is keeping track of JK's unwritten theories. Gah.

One big thing is the Mirrior Sirius gave Harry. The whole prophesy.
Alot of things

I know -- thank goodness for the Lexicon -- BUT it's become very hard to maneuver I think. You have to know what you are looking for.

i have yet to see the movie & i probably won't until it comes out on dvd or something, but, i was so mad at all of the movies because they never mentioned peeves & i was curious. in the fifth movie, was there even a scene for when the twins hightailed it out of hogwartts? summoning their brooms, the swamp, "give her hell for us peeves"?
