Shutup kerrman2004 ! Just shutup! Before you go ranting to everyone else your opinions, be willing to back it up... you said, and i'm quoting you: "Ok GOF was bad but it was way more accurate then OOTP and POA was so accurate i loved it." Are yo freakin' kidding me?!? POA left out all the plot points. Where was the explanation behind the Marauder's Map and Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs that had everyone (including me) confused? Where was the Quidditch Cup Harry won? Who wanted to add more nonsense like little munchkins playing the organ that JKR had to caution him that there are no little ppl at Hogwarts? Huh? Who totally ruined the Secret-Keeper issue? There's alot more that's not worth my time, but Cuaron basically messed up the plot, hurting GOF and OOTP a little bit. Like everyone was confused when Voldemort started calling Peter Pettigrew Wormtail! Or when Harry Potter started calling Sirius Black Padfoot! If Alfonso Cuaron directs DH, that means DEATH for Harry Potter, ruining the Whole Series, i'm GLAD he's not directing it... JK Rowling even said that YAtes is her favorite director and OOTP is her favorite movie, that was the first that nearly NAILED it! So, if she likes it, then I LIKE IT!

Thank you so much phoenixknight! I agree with you one hundred percent. POA was alright from a movie stand point, but for the books?? You've got to be kidding me! Everyone was confused whether they read the books or not. Kerrman2004, you said there was no development between Ron and Hermione. That's bologna, this is the first movie where Ron is not just there to grunt and give dirty looks (a bit of an exaggeration but not much). There was development with Ron and Hermione, and the whole Harry/Ginny thing was hinted at as well. Harry/Cho wasn't all that important to the plot. They changed it to fit what was needed to propel the plot forward. Shrunken heads did nothing to the plot in POA and yet they added them in 2 different parts of the movie! GOF was probably the worst, but that's because of how much they missed the mark on SO much, so I agree with you there. I don't get why anyone would hate David Yates, we don't even know him. You don't have to like what he did with OOTP, but you have to respect it. OOTP is what it is, stop griping and groaning and start dealing with it!

I don't understand some people on here. I know some people are going to think me to be ridiculous for saying this, but you know it is pretty difficult to compare plots in the movies from the earlier ones to the later ones. For example, PoA was about 430 pages, right? OotP was nearly 900 pages. That is a LOT of plot to fit into a movie with such a short time limit. I agree with sweasley: it really does not seem like anyone has any idea what a director does. The book was adapted by the SCREENWRITER, not the DIRECTOR. And the film's running time was decided by WB. So, please don't trash talk Yates because you were upset with the plot. And for that matter, although I did not exactly love Newell as a director, he actually didn't do half bad. The script was simply horrible. It cut out things that should have stayed in and put in things that were unimportant. Out of all the directors of these movies, I would definitely say Yates was the best and I hope he stays on through DH. And by the way kerrman2004, Dan and Emma are just as talented as Rupert is, there is no reason to say anything bad about them. Also, you said "Ok GOF was bad but it was way more accurate then OOTP". You definitely need to check out the books again then, because OotP was extremely accurate compared to GoF. That's all I have to say.

phoenixknight: HOW DARE YOU TELL ME TO SHUT UP! In case you didn't remember we already had this conversation about OOTP and Alfonso ages ago and I AM NOT wasting my time having this coversation with a person like you again. You are a horribly angry rude person in my opinion. I am alowed to have my own opinions, thats what this forum is for! And for your information, I CAN back up what i said, LOADS AND LOADS of HP fans were hugely dissapointed with OOTP and hate Yates, if you don't beleive me just read the comments on this news bulletin. If you didn't like POA thats your problem but don't judge me for slagging Yates or OOTP coz you have repeatedly slagged POA and Alfonso on this site, I have noticed it several times but have not said anything. You are a hypocrit and need some anger management classes. And from all the comments I read on various HP fansites, LOADS of poeple hate Yates and many fans think POA was the best and that Alfonso was the best. You CANNOT compare Alfonso leaving out a couple of minor details to Yates leaving out HALF THE FRIGGIN BOOK. At least in POA, the characters were accurate to the books and the film was dark and funny. In OOTP the characters were....i don't know NOTHING like in the books and as i said, HALF the book was missing from the movie. You may not care about that but i do. I don't give a rats ass if you like OOTP but never ever tell me to shut up or i will report you to mugglenet.

tjd8591: Thanks for your imput. I think you miss-understood me though. I said that GOF was worse the OOTP. I prefer OOTP to GOF, don't worry hehe.

okaii u guys all need to breathe cuz ootp was good compared to the rest.. and poa was the worst and thefirst two wre just gi and happy :S and the fourth had bad shippings and wasnt too good... none of em are ever gonna plz hp fans cuz of the time so y bother? AND OOTP WAS ACTUALLY VERYYY GOOD! CUZ THE BOOK IS HUGEEE AND THEY HAD TO LEAVE OUT LOTSA shhh BUT THEY DID BETTER THAN POA WHICH WASNT SO GOOD.. and poa was pure crap!!

Rawr, cat fight! Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but some of this is getting way personal. Not everyone likes Yates, but not everyone liked Columbus, Newell, or Cuaron. tjd8591, you made the best points I've read. Bringing up the script was great, I'd completely forgotten to voice that on my last post. Directors direct people, they don't choose what's going to stay and go. They have some input, but their main job is to oversee the process of acting/editing. I think we all need to calm down a bit and have a discussion rather than taking each other's heads off.

hplvr9.... watch it man cuz i didnt like any of the ones u mentioned.. cc wwas prolly the worst.. now ait poa was.. those guys are fags!! AND KEEP IN MIND THE DUDE THAT SAID THAT OOTP LEFT OUT HALF THE BOOK: THAT POA LEFT OUT THE ENTIREEE BOOK WHILE HAVONG LESS PAGES THEN OOTP WHCICH IS Y EVERYONES COMPLAINING.. BUT IT WAS GOOD.. POA SUCKED BALLLS!

sorry hpluvr92 misreadu ru comment screw the first part

Yes everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But donb't you guys think Phoenixknigh is a bit psycho for telling me to shut up just coz i said i didn't like OOTP. Its like...woah anger issues there! sirius_lee I can't belive you hate POA that much, thats so dissapointing for me to hear u say that. I though POA was the best. Why can't everyone see how creative and origional POA was compared to the rest. It was dark and funny while the others....well lets just say I have never laughed in a HP movie besides POA. And I have never been more creaped out by a HP movie then those Dementors in POA, Truely frightening, and I'm a grown up haha. I wish everyone could appreciate Alfonso's creative style the way me and many other HP fans do. It dissapoints me to hear people slag Alfonso or POA. They only thing i can suggest is that everyone who doesn't like POA should watch Children of Men, then you will truely appreciate how dark and creative and original Alfonso is as a movie maker. After i saw Chldren of Men I appreciated Prisoner Of Azkaban 10 times more. Just a thought. Also Sirius_lee I don't appreciate you saying POA was the worst, when a lot of HP fans think its the best and nearly all HP fans can agree that GOF was the worst. Not POA or OOTP but GOF.

sirius_lee. I respect your opinion but what the hell are you talking about? haha. You are being really rude now. POA was the most accurate. What exactly was missing from the movie from the books? I have no idea where you got that idea from. Everything was included...Sirius, Lupin, Trelawney, Ron and Hermione fighting, scabbers, wormtail, hagrid teaching, Buckbeak. There was nothing missing. I have read the book recently and watched the movie recently so I can honestly say that I thought the movie was pretty dam accurate to the book. And yes I stand by what I said. OOTP had half the book missing from the movie. Considering the movie was 590 pages don't you think they should have made a longer movie? I mean come on! it was only 2 hours 20 minutes., It should have been at least 3 hours long!!

aha! hairspray! I haven't seen that movie forever! thank you.

Kerrman2004, you're telling us that we shouldn't beat on Cuaron and POA, but yet you're ripping OOTP and Yates apart; that's not really fair. Maybe phoenixknight shouldn't have said shut up, but he/she has quite a few fair points that you completely disregarded. OOTP is ridiculously long, and they had to cut stuff to make it fit. POA cut a lot too, I just reread POA as well, and wasn't happy with the movie. Calling everyone else rude is not the way to get your point across. No one is telling you that you have to love OOTP, we're just trying to get you to be more open minded. A lot of people liked POA, but a lot of people also liked the other 4 movies. Saying that others liked POA doesn't mean anything. We all have different favorites. Sirius_Lee, lol, I was a bit confused as to what you meant before. No problem, and fair point about the page number in regard to the movies run time.

OH MY GOD!! ARI!!!!!!!!!! Is that reallly you??? Yeah so personally I hate Yates cause he totally si making everything not accurate!! If he screws up with my fav book i WILL behead him!

Oh, and as to what was missing: the entire Marauder plot line was completely butchered, the huge fight between Ron and Hermione that took up half of the book wasn't there (it was mentioned just before finding Scabbers and when Hermione had Crookshanks in the beginning, but it was just briefly touched upon), and Snape's dislike for Lupin wasn't even touched upon. Instead they kept the Knight Bus and extended it to a ridiculously long scene, put in shrunken heads, and added a strange riding Buckbeak scene. Now I'm not saying I hate POA, it had its moments. It's probably my second favorite movie in the series (behind OOTP) if I base it off of movies and not the books. I'm not trying to be a jerk, and I hope this isn't coming of hostile. It's just my opinion, nothing personal to anyone.

Well, I thought OotP was pretty close to the plot except that there was no quidditch. That was kinda weird. I personally liked the PoA and OotP movies best, which is interesting because most people here like PoA and hated OotP or vice versa. But don't go jumping down my throat if you didn't like those, because that's just me. So everyone just . . . chill. This is not the debate team, or tackle football. This is the MuggleNet comment board.

kerrman2004: Yes, I think we are all agreed that OotP should have been a bit longer, but you have to admit there was a good deal of information missing from the PoA movie, for example the Shrieking Shack scene was cut extremely short, in my opinion anyway. The whole explanation of how the Potters were hidden and exactly how they were betrayed was cut very short from both the Three Bromsticks and Shrieking Shack scenes. Pettigrew was not shown as well as in the book with his scene in the Shrieking Shack. Don't get me wrong, Spall did a fantastic job, just if they had made the scene a bit longer, the movie could have exemplified his fear and how he always hides in the shadows of people more powerful than him, and sharing in their glory. And to both kerrman2004 and phoenixknight, and anyone else arguing on here: why is there arguing here? Seriously there's no reason to. I think everyone just needs to calm down. We're all here to discuss Potter, are we not? We aren't here to get into petty arguments with others.

hplvr: OOTP may have been long but it still had way too much detail missing. As a huge HP I would gladly watch even a four hour movie if it meant that the movie was accurate. Considering that Titiantic is nearly 4 hours long and Meet Joe Black is nearly 4 hours long (and meet joe black is the most boring film ever made and it was still that long) they should have made OOTP 3 hours long don't you think? The book fans would have been happier with more book detail. To adress your first point, yes I know I slagged OOTP but lets be honest I backed up my reasons and explained what I hated about it.The people here who are slagging POA are saying that there was stuff missing when there was nothing important missing so thats not fair. I am a huge HP fan, i've seen the movies loads and read the books loads and I can say that i felt that the characters in the POA were 100% the characters from the books that i had grown attached to. I feel in my heart that anyone who doesn't like POA or Alfonso's other movies does not know how to appreciate a creative original dark funny director. Its a shame in my opinion and I would advise these people to watch Children of Men, if they STILL don't like Alfonso, well those people obviously have a very narrow minded movie taste. Some people are scared by new, creative and original movies, they just want a typical normal movie with no creativeness from the director...its really a shame

Kerrman: I completely agree with you about the longer movie. Wouldn't that be a God send! Unfortunately WB is never going to jump on the 3 hr movie bandwagon which really sucks. We've all backed up reasons as to why we don't like PoA, but everyone is different. Everyone has a different opinion as to which movie is the best. I don't think anyone is arguing anymore, maybe there was before, but it's turned into a discussion. At least I hope so, that's what I've been doing.

HPLVR: i can appreciate your point about the shruken heads because that was a bit radom, but I thought they were kinda funny it showed originality. It was something differnt and refreshing. As for Snape and Lupin, don't really know what your talking about there, it was totally obvious that Snape hated Lupin and Sirius. Remember the line: 'Ah, Lupin..out for a walk in the moonlight are we?' that line was just filled with hatred. If you think about it logically the maurder story was not butchered in anyway. Lupin said to Harry: 'I was good friends with you father and mother' and it was totally obvious he wrote the map because he knew all about it and how to use it when he took it from Harry. What else do you need? Even if you don't like POA, you have to at least give Alfonso credit for being creative and different. As i said before, POA was the only film that made me laugh and it was the only film that I felt was truely accurate. Anyway I'm going to bed now its really late and i'm really tired of this argument. Everyone has their own favorite HP film but please guys, dont' judge Alfonso for being creative and different. Remember to watch Children of Men everyone, its one of the best films i've ever ever seen. You won't regret it.

Yup, looks like the arguments are boiling down to discussions as you said. The three hour movie WOULD make a lot of people pleased. If Mr. Yates does DH, we can hope they'll split it into two movies so everyone will be happy and we can stop blaming Mr. Yates for leaving out the parts we all love. BUT, if you don't want it to be split, don't yell at me because it's what I think! Just tryin to be neutral here.

I guess you're right about Snape and Lupin, but the not so much with the map. Everyone I've talked to had no idea what they were talking about. Anyway, this is supposed to be about David Yates and we all got COMPLETELY side tracked. So congrats to him, he definitely deserves the recognition and award. Man, talk about a tense conversation!

Also, before i got to bed i just wana say that even though I hated that so much was missing from OOTP and that the Harry/cho relationship was totally butchered I still liked Yates for giving Fred and George lots of screen time (even though he left out the fact that Fred and George flooded the school lol). I'm a big Weasley twin fan so no matter how much I hated OOTP I will still appreciate Yates for giving the twins their proper screen time, I don't think Chris Columbus would have done that. So maybe you POA haters should give Alfonso another change eh? and learn to appreciate something thats a bit different. Just a thought.

Yeah, I had already read the books before I saw the movies so I guess I'm not sure if they were confusing or not, because I had the background information. It did seem to skip over the Marauder bit a little though.

Ha, is there anyone on here who hadn't read the books by PoA?

well i don't really understand why people were confused by POA. It was totally obvious that Lupin, Sirius, James, Lilly and Peter were all friends and in school together and they obviously wrote the map coz they were talking about it like they knew everything about it. When Lupin took the map from Harry he obviously knew all about it. His exact words were 'Harry i don't know where you found this map'. Harry had never mentioned the word map so clearly Lupin knew about it and wrote it. And Sirius said in the shreiking shack 'the map never lies' he knew about it too. For people to be confused is a bit silly. Just because Lupin didn't do his big speach about their childhood that doesn't mean they ruined the marauders storyline. Lupin saying his big speach would have been a waste of time. They could not have made that scene in the shreiking shack any longer. Alfonso had dedicated like 30 minutes of the movie to the last 3 chapters so it was impossible to make it any longer without it getting boring. Now Yates, who for some reason changes information and changes scenes. He left out St Mungos and randomly decided that Neville would tell Harry about his parents in the room of requirement which is totally inaccurate because Ron, Hermione and Ginny were supposed to find out about Neville's parents too. And as i've said the Harry/Cho thing was totally inaccurate and cut short. I was really looking foward to st mungos, Ron playing quidditch and the ministry of magic properly done and it was all missing. To me and many other hp fans thats why it was really dissapointing. But as i've said i still like yates for giving the twins lots of screen time. I think James and Oliver Phelps will be great actors in the future when they break away from Harry Potter and i can't wait for their scenes in DH.

i think yates did a pretty good job with OOTP and also whoever directed POA was good at keepin it acurate

Don't bother listening to kerr, guys, hes in love with alfonso, and wont say anything bad about him. I used to fight with this guy all the time, i just don't bother anymore. im pretty sure it's safe to say based on the number of people that have posted that the general harry potter fandom has more support for OotP than PoA. Also, another point made was that it isn't the director's job to make the script or decide the length of the movie. The director is supposed to put the best parts of the movie together, decide what is in the final cut, where the music goes, and most importantly, getting the best out of the actors. "He was their FRIEIEEEIEEEEND!!!!" vs. Voldemort possesion scene. Hmmm... Another thing, while the director does have no choice over how much is cut, he does have a choice over WHAT is cut. have you seen the bonus cut scenes from OotP??? Would you rather have cut the ministry scene, the fred and george scenes, or the ministry battle scene, so we can all watch a drunk trelawney attempting to eat during Umbridge's speech? the fact that the cut scenes are worse are actually a mark of a better director, in my own personal opinion.

Also, the shrunken heads being "originality

wtf happened to my full post?? Also, the shrunken heads being "originality

rofl guess mugglenet is has a glitch with posting my full post... one more shot... Also, the shrunken heads being "originality"???? What are we arguing about here??? I thought everyone

phoenixmandc get over yourself. I'm not the only one who likes alfonso and POA so stop acting like i am. yes we've had this disscussion before so why do you care if i say nice things about POA and Alfonso? why does that bother you so much that i like POA more then OOTP. Again, get over yourself. You are phoenixknight are both the same. You tell me to shut up and tell other people not to listen to me just because you don't like what you hear. You and phoenixknight need to get lives and grow up. Not everyone likes OOTP and its stupid to assume everyone does. thats the way your acting. God forbid someone says a bad word against your precious Yates. And you need to accept that a lot of people love POA and think its the best. I have quite a few posts in the past on this site and others asking for Alfonso to come back and direct DH. I have never ever seen one post from a fan saying 'i hope yates directs DH' not even one. I rest my case. I am sick am tired of you and phoenixknight freaking out just because I don't like Yates and i like Alfonso. Do I care slag you guys for liking Yates, no i don't. I don't care. Grow up. I'm heading out with my friends for the night and

sorry a couple of spelling mistakes there. I meant to say that you and phoenixknight are both the same. and that I have read lots of posts from loast of poeple asking for Alfonso to come back. And i'm fed up with you and phoenixknight being totally condescending to other peoples opinions. I don't slag you guys for liking Yates so don't slag me for liking Alfonso. If you like Yates that much why don't you and phoenixknight just go marry him and leave the rest of us alone. You can't judge someone for their opinions being different to yours its totally evil.

Why is there arguing here? :( Everyone can have their own opinion. To kerrman2004 and especially phoenixmandc: Just because more people like something doesn't make it right. Just because you've searched the internet and more people like OotP or more people like PoA doesn't mean you've proved anything. Personally I like OotP much more, but that doesn't make PoA a bad movie. Also to kerrman2004: I don't know if you read PoA before you saw the movie or not, but if you did read the books before you saw the movies, everything really seems pretty obvious because you already know what's going on. For example, my brother and I went to see GoF together at its release and he had never read the books at that point, so he was completely lost. Also, you said that OotP was completely inaccurate without the St. Mungo's scene, and that the information about Neville's parents was just thrown in. Yes, I was upset St. Mungo's wasn't in the movie, but the main point of the scene in the book was to visit Mr. Weasly (not exactly drastically important to the movie) and for other characters to discover what happened to Neville's parents. As this information wasn't very clear in GoF (movie), it needed to be in the movie to show some of the damage Voldemort had done. That was my thought on that part of the movie and I can understand (although it would have made more of an impact to see Neville's parents). And phoenixmadc, I know that I'm not someone in authority, but you just need to chill out. It's rude to tell people to not listen to other's ideas even if you disagree with them. And actually I would say in this case (and in most others as well) the screenwriter is the one who decides what is cut, and for these movies, J.K. Rowling as well.

Hiya tjd8591 thanks for your mature and interesting input. I am certainly not trying to fight with anyone. I honestly don't care if people like OOTP more then POA but I get really defensive when people tell me to shut up or someone tells other posters not to listen to me. Its unacceptable rude immature behaviour. Thanks again, i apprecaite your point of view.

I agree with tjd8591. Why does everyone have to argue about the movies? Obviously we're going to be disappointed with some of them, because how can you hoestly expect the films to even be anywhere near as good as the books? And did anyone ever think about how hard it is to write a movie based off of a HUGE novel like Harry Potter? They have to dish out the movies fairly fast, as well, because the actors are getting too old and the fans are screaming for more (and then complaining about the movie after it's finally released). I personally think that the first films were the best, only because they contained everything. But that's expected. You just can't fit everything into a 2 1/2 hour film (which is why I'm not expecting anything great from HBP or even DH, unless they successfully split it). Anyhow, just everybody stop! What's done is done for now (you can always hope for a remake).

That's a really good point that HBP_HagridsBigPoop_ made about the movies. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to write a decent script that goes along with a novel nearly 900 pages long (in the case of OotP) in such a short amount of time. Personally, I'm hoping for remakes in the future, that would you know, just use the books as script (not literally, just keeping every detail in the film). Some company would have to be willing to dish out a load of money, however. Anyway, maybe one day all the younger HP fans of today will be making the remakes (if they happen) in the future. For now, all we can hope for is great versions of HBP and DH.

Well said, tjd8591, well said. Wouldn't it be cool if they used the books as a script? =) Hopefully future remakes will be better (I think that the kids who grew up with Harry Potter would put more effort into it anyway).

Of course they would! That would be the coolest thing ever, getting to remake HP the way it should be. That is definitely something I'd want to be a part of.

Okay ... I'm really sick of people using the comments for arguing ... but anyway. I think the movie was not the best one yet, but it was still good enough. If there were things that are cut that is not the director's fault as far as I am concerned. Unless, of course, he also wrote the script, which I don't think he did, though I could be wrong. You guys should really stop venting about movie cuts on a comment forum about an award the director won. And now if we could PLEASE get back to things that have to do with the actual post ... I think that OOTP was a good enough movie. As far as Harry Potter movies go, it was enough to satisfy us fans, though I think Mike Newell did a better job with GOF. Congratulations to David Yates!

actually i agree thats one thing i don't like about certain HP flms. that they hardly ever use the dialogue from the books in the script.

kerrman2004---- well actually poa wasnt all that great.. i eman it felt like to me that everytime i actuallyheard dialgoue.. i thot it was awk ward cuz it seemed to be too much of other stuff.. and plus they could have prtrayed teh fite and the shreiking shack scene and the marauders story waay btter/put it in cuz it wasnt there and plus they shouldve added that instead of putting in a randomn scene of ghosts smashing windows.. random, poitnless, and fake!! hplvr92 lol its all good.. yeah i forgot how to read for a sec.. lol... but its true guys the dialgue is always different from the book.. i dont like the movies as much as like step up/step two and transformers and shrke and potc and i am legend and stuff like that

oh btw... HI REMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D lol yeah its really me btw u missed my bdau march 10 :(( loll is all good emial me

ATTENTION EVERYONE, AND U TOO KERRMAN. DAVID YATES HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FOR DH, SO ALFONSO CUARON EVER DIRECTING DH IS NOW HISTORY!!! HA! TAT MEANS WB AND JK ROWLING MUST REALLY LOVE YATES, AND SO DOES THE HP FANS!

ATTENTION EVERYONE, AND U TOO KERRMAN. DAVID YATES HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FOR DH, SO ALFONSO CUARON EVER DIRECTING DH IS NOW HISTORY!!! HA! TAT MEANS WB AND JK ROWLING MUST REALLY LOVE YATES, AND SO DOES THE HP FANS!

phoenixknight, get over yourself. That does not mean everyone likes Yates, to be honest about half the HP fans i know were dissapointed with OOTP with incorrect information and missing detail and no character development. Its a fact.

sirius lee, thats your opinion I'm totally cool with that but if you don't mind me saying that if you like POTC, I AM LEGEND, TRANSFORMERS AND SHREK then no, you are obviously not going to like POA. it would not be your type of film. Its, dark funny, creative and original filled with lovely detail and has is generally a different style of directing and movie then you are used to. Those films you have mentioned, well no offense, but they are just typical box office hit movies, theres nothing creative about the directing. Its mostley special effects. I wish you would learn to appreciate something creative and different. Also, your comments about the ghosts smashing the windows, I completely dissagree, It was those tiny details that made the film creative and i personally thought they made the film better.

p.s. I'm not slagging your move tast btw Sirius_Lee I happen to really like those films you mentioned too but i just didn't think there was anything creative about the directing. For me, (even though i loved those movies), It was all special effects and fast paced editing ya know? POA was deeper, original dark funny, creative and basically creepy. Thats the style I'm into. My 3 favorite Directors are Tim Burton, Baz Luhrman and Alfonso Cuaron so you can see that i really appreciate they're dark funny films.

by the way kerrman2004, i did watch Children of Men, and it was a good movie. Just because Cuaron could direct that, doesn't mean Harry Potter is his movie. That's like saying becaus Peter Jackson can direct Lord of the Rings, HP is his movie, or Steven Spielberg's. For the record Children of Men was Wayyy better than POA by a mile. When i compared the two to someone in school, they just lauged at me and told me that why am i comparing a really good movie with a really corny one (his opinion). Now when POA first came out, i LOVED it, mainly becaus Cuaron ventured away from Columbus' candy-ass HP films of the first two. Cuaron was the first to really touch on JKR's real Potter tone. And i credit him for that. He's basically the one who started the real darkness of the films, but of course nowadays, it's obviously NOT the darkest HP film. compared to OOTP. lol. And u said POA was very accurate? i'm not going to argue with that,but remember in the beginnning prologue when harry is practicing his magic under the bedcovers? (Lumos Maxima!) That was brought to you by Screenwriter Steve Kloves and Director Alfonso Cuaron. That was a huge Plot HOLE, and basically contradicts Harry ever getting in trouble using magic outside of school at all! That scene just made no SENSE to me whatsoever... Harry Potter doesn't get in trouble practicing his little charm, disturbing everyone (including Uncle Vernon) from their sleep, but he gets in trouble for conjuring a Patronus charm to protect his cousin Dudley from Dementors. Do you see the "logics" in that? I think not....

kerrman2004- is all good i dont mind but really? cuz i thot poa was so babyish and corny and just plain boring.. i mean i dont always watch juss comedy and horror i like spy movies and i watch some dark movie s but poa doesnt seem to fall in that certain categoree 4 me...
