Top 10 reasons the Harry Potter Movies make me mad.?
Question by Bob: Top 10 reasons the Harry Potter Movies make me mad.?
So I have not been impressed with any of the movies since the first one. I thought that it was really good but since then they have just slaughtered the rest. Here are my problems.
1. No Peaves. Are you kidding? He was one of the best people in the books. In the first one they had Rik Myall cast to play his part. For those of you that don’t know who that is, he played Drop Dead Fred. He would have been perfect. They really wouldn’t have had to do much with him. Just a couple of 2-3 min scenes and then they would be free to have him pop in and out of Hogwarts scenes in the back grounds.
2. Why are they wearing Muggle clothes? To me this takes me out of the movies because it really looks like they just walked out of a fashion shoot. Not to mention that most wizards have no clue how muggles really dress. Look at the fourth book. They really had no clue and it was funny. To me it just makes the movies dry and unimpressive.
3. No Ton Tongue Toffee. That was the funniest part in any of the books. It really showed Mr. Weasley in all his glory.
4. Nearly Headless Nicks Death Day Party. This was where they lost me. There was so much they could have done in this scene. When I read that part after seeing who they cast as Nick, I thought this would be a great time for a Monty Python reunion. They could have had Graham Chapman in there. Since he would be playing a ghost they could have used his his King Arthur Character from the Holy Grail and just CGI-ed him in. Then you have Eric Idle and Terry Gillium as the Riders of the Headless Hunt. Plus you have a full band. What great timing to put in John Lennon, John Bonham, Jim Morrison, etc. The fact that this is a all British cast, you couldn’t go wrong.
5. They are putting people in just so you can see them. Like Grawp. In the book he has personality. In the movie he is just an overgrown retard with a bike bell. How hard is it to have someone say “HAGGARD!” Heck, I would have done it for them for free just to make it look right.
6. When did Dumbledore get so pissed? He was never like that. Even when faced with certain death, he was calm, cool, and collected. He only really got mad a couple of times.
7. How hard is it to stick to the story? I am a big fan of these books because they were so well written. I understand they will have to change some things around for times sake but why wouldn’t you tell where the map came from. To me that was a big part of the 3rd book and they totally skipped over it. That movie irritated me from the word go anyway. It was like the writer read the cliff notes and still screwed it up. This was also where they dropped the school uniforms.
8. They have sacrificed Dobby just to make certain scenes “Look Cooler.” Perfect example. When did the Death Eaters learn to turn to smoke and fly. Voldemort was the only one to do that and it wasn’t until book 7. Plus it is not like they will go over budget on these movies.
9. Certain people just don’t look right. Like Slughorn. The scenes that I have seen him in so far, he looks nothing like the way she described him. How hard is it to find a big fat British actor.
10. They are cutting the 7th movie into 2 movies. Granted they are doing it so they can make it right, but who wants to bet that they will still screw it up?
So now that I have vented. What are your thoughts?
A couple of people have pointed out that this is not a question. My Question is what your thoughts were. If you don’t like the question, then you don’t have to answer.

1. Yeah, no Peeves. He would have made the movie a whole lot fun.
2. Most of them wear Muggle clothes. Plus, notice that it’s just the teenagers, or the youth rather, who are into wearing Muggle clothes. I guess they are more aware of other fashions unlike their predecessors who stick to traditional wizarding clothing.
3. No comment. I don’t see the point.
4. You’re just bringing more work to the CGI people. Give them a rest, please.
I won’t continue anymore. This is basically a useless rant. Create a blog, please. Don’t post your rants here.
