I know what you mean. I tend to rate these movies probably higher than you because I guess I don't expect them to be super close to the books. I expect them to be good for what they include from the books and generally I feel they do that well. Movies are very rarely better than the books they are based off of. The best most book-based movies can hope for is to do its base material justice while likely not including everything in the book. In many of the Harry Potter books there are numerou

i thought this one set everything up really well. I haven't read the books so i have nothing to base this on, but my gf has and she falls asleep during this movie every time lol. It reminded me of a movie id watch when i was a kid, almost like a wizardry Sandlot or Camp Nowhere...sure adults might think its lame but for the little kid in us its got some great imagination. I had to have my gf explain everything to me cuz she loves the books but thats the fun of it too, it was cool being able t

of course i read it...id give the series an 80 cuz they entertain me...i go into every movie expecting a book to be better but im not gonna spend my whole day reading when i could be watching the movie...of course the films are cash cows, idk what film isnt these days. I could go and buy "The Rock" on Amazonbooks for like 3 bucks which is cheaper than the 10 dollar movie but id find the movie way more entertaining. Since i dont wanna read 1000's of pages of Harry Potter books, watching the mov

o. and cool game i might try dat one day. anywys i love all of de films especially the 4th, as it was the one that involved the most action. im awaiting the finally and i hope its the best and recieves a 90% or more as it should be, since the book was totally epic. im sure itll have tons of emotional moments(alot of sad), alot of thrills(i was scared as hell reading the book), etc.

Anticlimatical?Fail to capture characters?It is okay to hate this film franchise, but least of all for those two reasons. Anticlimatical? You are saying that Voldemort versus Harry in the graveyard was anticlimatical? Dumbledore versus Voldemort was anticlimatical? No movie was anticlimatical except perhaps the 6th with no battle, but Dumbledore's death was very emotional and satisfying to see. Doesn't capture the characters? Well these actors are amazin

Remember, these are movies. Not books. They do the best they can with what they do. If they fully captured the book they would have about 400 million dollar budgets and that is just crazy seeing they range from 110-250 in budget from the first 6.

Okay I get what you're saying, I think I even said in my review I don't like comparing books to movies because of the simple fact they don't have all the resources a book has, however, this movie, in my opinion never fully captured the books feel at all. Did you read the books yourself? Because if you didn't that is probably why you liked the movies so much.

I did read the books, plenty of times. If I kept count, I probably have read Sorcerer's Stone over 20 times, no joke. The least I've read is OOTP and that might be about 4 or 5. I seriously spend my time reading this when I'm bored.For me the movies capture the moments perfectly from the book. I feel Harry's pain as though I'm Harry, that's how the book did it and that's how the movie did it for me.

Yes, to me the movies ended so abruptly, like in the 5th or 6th the whole movie is built up to dumbledore/sirius black death scene and it is what ten minutes, then it ends, in the book it was more a battle and then weighing the outcome, remember this was the last remaining "family" left on earth and now in Harry's turmoil he throws himself completely into the struggle and even more danger. It failed to capture this, I feel. I don't know I'm always disappointed when I walk out of the theater, the
