Personally, after having seen it, I think it's better than the other two.
I agree with you guys on the Map origin thing, not being explained. I wished it had been done. I still wasn't quite happy with the werewolf, and I would have prefered it if there had been more Quidditch. I mean, it's the year in which Gryffindor win the Cup! How could they leave it out.
But, there are good things of course. My fav. scene always was and will remain the Hermione punching Draco scene. Girl Power! ;D I was very pleased with Michael Gambon and Gary Oldman too. Great actors. The time turning part was pretty cool, and the knight bus! At first I was wondering what that shrunken head thing was. I had looked in the book for it, but it was just Stan and Ernie in the book. Guess it's one of Alfonso's additions.
I agree with Panda about the Dementors. So cool! Although I had imagined that when they kiss you to suck your soul, they really kiss you.
Yeah and we do get to see Cedric. At first I was wondering why Harry was wearing goggles instead of his glasses. Probably not to fall off.
Oh and yes Rikku, that girl was Pansy.
Man, Emma Watson does know how to scream right?
Moira, JK Rowling actually stated that it was Ron and Hermione? I thought that when they asked her she wouldn't say. Yeah I remember. Sphi had posted an interview in another thread and JK had said "Isn't it obvious?"

Ok, I thought that's who she was, although I imagined her differently. My favourite Hermione/Ron moment was when they were standing and looking at the Shrieking Shack, and Hermione goes, "Do you want to move closer?", I thought that was cute. Who played Trelawney? Yes, and yay hermione on punching Draco!! Woo hoo! I wished they would have shown more quidditch also, I mean, I wanted to see my beloved Oliver ( ), Cho Chang, and more of Cedric. And I believe the goggles are standard or something, or it could have been because of the weather. I also liked the lovely picture of Harry getting stuck by lightning, drawn by Draco, I also liked the way he sent it.

Okay, a bunch of stuff:
1. I didn't see Malfoy as very whiney. The times he whined were a) when he was making fun of Harry and b) using his injury to soak up as much attention and stuff as he could, both of which were present in the book. There was also the scene in Hogsmeade, but who wouldn't be freaked out if they were getting beaten up by an invisible person? Every time he whined I thought of a justifiable reason for it, reasons that were actually present in the book as well.
4. Despite my few objections, I really loved the movie. I also only really liked the first two movies because of my love of Harry Potter, and with this movie I could love it just for itself. I thought their acting skills had improved tremendously. And even when the movie differed a lot from the book, I didn't mind, because it still worked. It was still funny and exciting and good. There were definitely parts I'd change if I could, but some other things in the movie were amazing, like how life-like Buckbeak looked. I'm sort of becoming more and more incoherent 'cause I'm tired, but I really liked the movie and don't feel at all like Cuaron butchered it or anything of the sort. I was really pleased. Yes, that is exactly how I feel too. Very well put, Rue.
As to answer who played Prof. Trelawney, Emma Thompson did. And Herm, yes, I watched that interview with my own eyes over the internet, and those were her words. Although, they were in reference to what kind of "connections" would appear in the book. I wish I remember the site of where I saw that, cause I would look to see if it was still there, but it was something I found through another site I visit.
All right, I'm gonna quote directly from the magazine article about the deletion of the stuff we've been talking about. Not that it's going to explain everything, but it might.
So maybe we haven't lost the information totally. We just have to wait for the other movie(s) to come out. Oh, and the goggles were new, because in the book Harry was having difficulty seeing anything because of the rain soaking his glasses. Then Hermione put a charm on them to repel water.

I just saw it last night, and I have to say my favourite bit was the credits The little feet running round, jumping over words, and then at one point we see dogs' paw prints (Sirius!) and then eagle's claw prints (Buckbeak!)... heh, I want to see it again so I can figure out what the little feet were doing, because there were some rather suggestive bits
But seriously... okay, I didn't get the impression at all that there wasn't enough going on between Lupin and Sirius and Harry. Not at all. Yes, some of the scenes that explored them in the book were cut out, but I thought Cuaron did an amazing job of preserving the spirit of the relationships. From the talk on the covered walk where Lupin tells Harry what was good about his folks, to the bit in the corridor when Lupin understands Harry sticking up for his father with Snape, but is also worried enough to say something hard to Harry (the bit about 'your parents died to save your life, risking it is a pretty poor way of repaying them')... and the bit where Remus has just changed into a werewolf and Sirius is trying desperately to keep him human, saying something like "what you are is in this heart" (was he touching Lupin's or his own? )... and Sirius trying to lighten things up while they helped Ron back through the passage... and who thought Snape saying Sirius and Remus always bicker like a married couple was funny? Hehehe.
Was Gary Oldman good? Yes. He's got the whole appears-slightly-off-center, but is really desperate to know his friends' son, and is deeply satisfied with the knowledge that Harry is safe and knows he's innocent.
David Thewlis? Surprised me. I didn't think he'd swing that whole gentle, rule-abiding, yet understanding thing. But he did all right.
I do think the film needed a moment explaining the "Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs" bit. But I don't think they left out the feeling that the tragedy was still affecting Harry. The bit where he swore he would kill Sirius himself for betraying his parents, just after he overheard about it in the Hog's Head? And at the end, when all had been explained, he clearly struggled with what Pettigrew said about how James would have spared him. He chose to spare Pettigrew because it's what this ideal father in his head would have done.
There were several other subtle things that hinted at the relationships between the adult characters, too. Snape and Dumbledore talking like old friends while the students were asleep in the GH - really showing us how deeply Dumbledore trusts Snape. And Snape's part got more interesting all over - on the one hand, he's still harassing Harry about rules and such, and he's still vindictive toward Sirius, but on the other he got between the kids and Remus when Remus transformed. He took a blow for them.
And I loved the clock imagery too - especially the moment when Harry is looking down from inside the face of the clock. Actually, that, to me, said a lot about the coming Ron & Hermione relationship, because it was like saying Harry was not only ruing a long weekend alone, but was also aware that time was passing, things changing, between his two best friends - and he couldn't be there for it since he couldn't go with them to Hogsmeade. And then he ended up having a very different journey through the weekends - he started spending them with Lupin, at once a trip into his own past because Lupin told him about his family - and a trip into his own future. One of the things I loved best about this film was the way it was underscored that Harry creating a full patronus was a big deal, not just a good use of wit and courage and resourcefulness but significant magical ability. That's important; we need to understand that Harry really can be as powerful a wizard as Voldemort if we're to understand how a 15-year-old is going to hold off the darkest of wizards at the end of the next film.
Mneh-mneh. I am babbling. I just thought... no, it doesn't follow the book as closely, and there was that explanation of the stag left out, which I agree was a problem... but I didn't think the emotion wasn't there, or that that much crucial stuff got left out.

I saw the movie Friday morning and I really, really enjoyed it. I'm probably a bit bias because I'm a big fan of Cuaron's other works...soo...you know.
At first I got really caught up when he didn't get Hedwig when he left, but as soon as the movie continued, I quickly forgot about it. At first I was going in with a "how is this movie going to be different than the book" and by the end i was in a "how did this movie portray the feelings I felt while reading the book" mood.
Every part of the movie I was on the edge of my seat and I liked that. I think with the other movies, keeping in every detail that we don't really need can be boring to a lot of people, including me sometimes. Although I've never thought other movies are boring, this one seemed to move at a more rapid pace and was, I believe, more emotional and more beautiful than the other two movies.
I really liked a lot of the angles Cuaron decided to use, particularly with the clock scenes. I thought that the other movies were great and beautiful but lacked the artistic quality Cuaron added to his movie, not to mention, I found this one funnier than the rest even though, I think, it dealt with a lot of heavy topics.
I think it was a great entry movie for the next ones coming up...I don't know, the general feel of the movie made me more involved than the other two. So they put some stuff out of order and forgot other things. I don't know, JKR reviews the movies, right? To make sure they don't completely stray from the books? I don't know, I'm going to put my trust in the film makers, JKR, and the director(s) of the future if it isn't Cuaron to make sure to tie up everything that may have been left out of this movie. I guess I view the books and the movies as two different view points coming together in order to understand and enjoy Harry Potter a little more.

You're not babbling En. On the contrary! It all makes perfect sense and I agree with what you said.
At first I was also wondering who that guy directing the choir was, finally realising it was Flitwick. It seems another guy got the part. And is it me or maybe a misprint in the book or something but in the book it's spelled Moony while in the movie Mooney.
Oh, and at the beginning if I recall well, even in the books, Harry didn't have Hedwig with him; she was away. And yet there's still the cage and the broom.
The Marauders' Map was a pretty nice piece of work though. I really liked it!

I guess I view the books and the movies as two different view points coming together in order to understand and enjoy Harry Potter a little more. Here here, Calantha. Well put. I definitely agree with that. And I really loved Cuaron's "A Little Princess" so I, too, was confident that he'd be able to do the job well:)
En, your thoughts about the clock....that was really interesting. Something I hadn't really thought much about. Perhaps this is thinking a little bit too deep, but Harry in the clock tower, the time passing, and seeing others go on without him....
Herm, yeah in the book, Hedwig had been sent away during the week that Aunt Marge was going to be staying, so no extra trouble would get in the way. In the movie, (watching it the second time, because that was something I was looking for too) I saw that he did have Hedwig in the room. However, he was really surprised to find her already in the Leaky Cauldron when he arrived, so I think Cuaron took care of the fact that with or without Hedwig coming with Harry, she found her way to him.
Man, all of these comments are making me want to go see this a third time so I can soak up more insight and detail. Plus I need to stay through to the end of the credits now. I usually do, but bladders and being with people who don't stay to the end present a problem...

Fox and I saw it last week.
Lupin was not the way I had poctured him, but I felt that he was portrayed well emotionally. He seemed a tad too vunerable at times, but maybe that's the point. He astounds you with his inner strength. The little heart to hearts between Harry and Lupin were nicely done.
The Werewolf scene, I absolutely hated since I imagined Werewolves to be like actual wolves, only larger and would have made a better fight scene with Sirius. I guess that's good, showing that Sirius is the type to run into battle even when the odds are against him, but the lanky Metis wolf was too over the top for me. I agree with En, I loved the part where Sirius was holding Lupin during his transformation. Ee, warm fuzzies of Canon Sirius/Lupin.
Yay for Pettrigrew! Much more disturbing than I had pictured, but truly magnificant portrayal.
I liked the cinematography in this movie much more than the previous ones. It did the essence of the movie justice, it was more subjective than objective.
Lol, yes, hooray for Buckbeak actually looking like a Hippogryff rather than an underfed parrot *coughFawkescough* The dead ferrets amused me.
The cutting and pasting of the Firebolt I had no problem with, just the lack of Marauders.
I don't know, I felt as though the movie had come and gone in a flash. It seemed more like a Pilot than an actual movie. Like others have stated, this is probably because I felt a lack of closure and proper explanation? I suppose the new director assumed if the Fans know, it's alright, but really. Things come and hit you on the head, then scamper away before you get a chance to absorb it.

I saw it on Friday and loved it. Some of the cuts annoyed me but not too much to take away from the movie. What I loved is that Curon got the mood of the book and characters right. Book three is my favourite because you could just tell that the mood was different, older, darker, more internal in a way than external, and Cuaron got that right. I love how he put in the icey blues and blacks because those added to the mood and I love the camera angles that he uses. One of my favourites is when you see Hewdig flying and as she flies the season changes right before your eyes and snow appears. That was just beautiful. If you want to see a more indepth review then go here please. I'm too lazy to type it all out.

I saw it on the 5th and again on the 8th...
Juuust some quick things I want to voice, most of it repeated so I'm just making them quick so y'all can see where I stand...
1) Aunt Marge screaming in the air as Harry runs away? I thought that was so funny.
2) I don't remember talking heads in the book....(I.E the Knight Bus and the Pub in Hogmeade)
3) The map and the history of the four friends, is very crucial for the 4th and 5th book, we all know, and I think it would've been easier on the creators to just add it in the 3rd book so not to get it messed up with the plots in the coming movies.
4) I can't remember who said it, but the talks with Dumbledore at the end, give me closure too. I didn't feel closure this time because it lacked that. But maybe that's good because this story isn't over yet?
5) I just don't see it in the books. Hermione and Ron? *rolls eyes* they just bicker, I don't see it. But I think the director was playing off Fans of that relationship for those moments of holding Ron's hand, or hugging Ron instead of Harry when the "kill buckbeak". I'm a Harry/Hermione fan but not so much to defend it completly so don't bash me.
6) Ya that werewolf didn't do it for me, too lanky.
7) Draco saddened me this time around. Since when does he coware that much to (forgive my language) a mudblood?
8) I think introducing Cedric (more so than just a glimpse during quidditch) in the next film is a fine choice. No harm there.
9) Moving the Firebolt to the end was easier. It meant not having to deal with the investigation on the broom to make sure it was safe, or having a reason for Harry to be able to play quidditch (it looked that because Harry didn't have a broom that he couldn't play so it was an excuse to cut out quidditch to make room for some more important plot lines). Having it at the end with the feather was easy because this way he has the broom and we know who it's from without making it a big deal of it.
10) Snape saying Reamus and Siriris were an old couple was beyond funny, En. I enjoyed that moment immensly. ;D
11) Who ever said something along the lines of "Think of how much they'll cut out for the 4th book" They better be making a two part film for that. Think about it...there's just too many scenes, the tournament alone, that are important and can't be cut. Plus, there are four competitions so they could split it two and two. Also, Voldemort coming back to power is a huge deal, so two films can help make room for all that.
12) I always pictured Sirius a little more attractive than that...maybe it's just the post-Azkaban apperal.
13) I could never imagine how that damned map would work. I'm so happy with how the portrayed it. It makes more sense than what I thought of...
A quote from my friend, who didn't read the book: "Ti, that was the most beautiful movie I've ever seen."
Sorry it's long, but they're short!

I really liked it much MUCH better than either of the first 2. But then, that might have something to do with the director being Cuaron. Patriotic Bias.
There were a few things I didn't like. Just my opinion though: 1. Dementors. They flew! I always imagined them as ground creatures. 2. Hardly any quidditch at all... 3. Someone said this already, but they should've said where the map came from. 4. Ugly werewolf... I liked the ones on Van Helsing better (seeing as I watched it a couple days before Harry Potter...) Um... I think that's about it...

I loved it. And this is strange because I'm usually a highly critical person
I got in there and for the first 15 minutes I was picking out everything that was different to the books, complaining in my head that Harry's asking to get his form signed at the wrong time, that the head in the Knightbus wasn't even there... but then I realized how stupid it was of me and I wasn't going to enjoy the movie if I actually thought it should be like the book.
I really don't mind at all that there's a lot of things different from the book, because there are a lot of things similar to the book. Really, he just took everything important, and shuffled around where they occured (like Hermione slapping/punching Draco, Trelawney's prediction, the Firebolt, etc). And the things that he did cut, there were subtle references in the movie. Like Sir Cadogen? Did you notice him jumping around in the portraits, brandishing his sword, saying something to the exent of "Let me at him!" ;D
Unlike everyone, apparently, I think it was better if they just left out the Mauraders. There is the insinuation that Lupin was one, and if they just said that James could transform into a stag I think a light-bulb would've gone off in everyone's head that these men who went to school together could transform into somehthing with Prongs, something to do with Moons, etc. I know there's emotion in the movie, but I didn't really feel it tons. It felt like in each shot of plot, there was a shot of emotion that didn't really feel to carry over to the next scene. For some reason, I think it would've been awkward to (a) fit it in, and (b) show Harry's reaction to it all. The movie did fine without it.
Yeah, and I could go into everyone's other complaints about the movie, but suffice it to say that on most accounts I disagree and think that the director did a great job. Like he said he was going to do, he just took the important stuff. I don't think he left out anything necessary, and the end product is great. I think I might be calling it my favourite movie.
and yes, the werewolf was really ugly

This just in: Robin says Cuaron actually convinced JKR and Mike Newell and co. to put the Marauders' identities in the fourth film. So, evidently there is a reason for the lack of explanation in this film... and do we really need it for this film? Not as much as we needed the introduction of Sirius and Lupin as people... and anyway, like pkia says, the insinuation is there. Harry doesn't have time to absorb this at the end of the film because Lupin is walking out - but it's Lupin who says "mischief managed."
Ditto what Cal and Cally said about the choices of camera angles being more artistic, more subjective. I liked that. This was a film with a personality, like... like the difference between a book report and a book review. I like reviews better - they allow you to pack more ideas and more humanity into less space - they make you feel more. Yay for that.
Moira, that is exactly where I was going with Harry looking down at Ron and Hermione. That is the year when his friends' relationship starts growing without him, a theme we're going to see again at least in OotP - whether you buy the Ron/Hermione ship or not - Harry gets furious that they spend the summer without him between fourth and fifth years, ne? And that's because he has felt more and more distant from them since these Hogsmeade trips.
Cally, I thought of you during the transformation scene, because I was thinking about how much you'd hate it Isn't there a sort of intermediate form between wolf and person that werewolves are able to take in some mythologies? Maybe we could rationalise it that way
I. Love. Timothy. Spall. He cracked me up. Ask Lumers, I didn't shut up about him for hours after the film
As far as the speed of the film - I'm not sure that was a bad idea, at least from the point of view that this is the first HP film I've wanted to buy. I know I'll need to watch it several times to catch all the wink-winks, you know?
I loved the talking heads... but I have no idea where they came from? That just leads me to my final post-post-film observation: overwhelmingly, I loved that all kinds of crazy stuff was going on in every single scene, but the kids were so matter-of-fact about it. Pair of headless horsemen running through study hall? Seen it. *yawn* Talking shrunken heads? Annoying, but ignoreable. There was just so much in every shot, so much that made me feel... an overwhelming sense of wonder, of fantasy, that I didn't feel in the Columbus films. It made me fall in love with the films again.

Bloody brilliant!I just saw it last night, and I have to say my favourite bit was the credits The little feet running round, jumping over words, and then at one point we see dogs' paw prints (Sirius!) and then eagle's claw prints (Buckbeak!)... heh, I want to see it again so I can figure out what the little feet were doing, because there were some rather suggestive bits The paw prints were either Sirius or Lupin. And Crookshanks was chasing an owl methinks. At least, the bird prints ran off into the Owlery
If anyone wants to try and find an anagram for "Stink Bomb Store", "The Owlery" and "The Monster Book Repair Shop" and maybe find a clue, go right ahead. Who knows? Maybe they are very sneaky clues
Thewlis and Oldman were amazing. Shame Gary didn't get much of a look in. (Don't worry Rita. He'll be in the next two )
I know werewolves are underfed, but....are their arms and legs that long? It was nice how Sirius tried to tell Remus that, at heart, he is still Remus.
Some bits in the film went pretty quick. In the Shrieking Shack, Harry believed Sirius and Remus pretty quickly, even though he thought that they were both baddies not two seconds before. But I'm not complaining! The quickness meant less time to wait to go to the loo
Hermione and Ron! Aha! They bicker like a married couple. Muahahaha! Of course they belong together
Remus and Sirius. It was good to see their reunion.
The Time Turner idea. excellent. I thought it would confuse a lot of people, but it was set out really well. Of course, since I was looking for "the other" Harry and Hermione near Hagrid's Hut, I missed some other bits
For some reason, Dad thought the end was actually an intermission. I don't think he liked the fact that there wasn't really an end. He expected something to happen to Peter. It took some reminding on his part to realise that Peter is still alive in Books 4 and 5, which he has already read
I never knew Malfoy was so snivelly

I just watched PoA last night, so I've had to restrain myself from checking this thread for a whole week. I refused to ruin the movie like I ruined OotP. Anyways, I thought it was absolutely amazing. I have to disagree vehemently with anyone who said this movie lacks emotions; quite the contrary, it had all the emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, suspense, humor. It's definitely my favourite of the movies so far. I love Cuaron and applaud him for a job well done.
Rita, you need not worry about them messing up Sirius, in my opinion. Gary Oldman was perfect for Sirius. He had the built-up anger but he also had that crazy sense of humor and that subtle tenderness. You could see it, for example, when Sirius talked to Harry about living with him, or pretty much whenever Sirius and Remus talked. They were adorable in the Shrieking Shack. David Thewlis and Gary Oldman were the best. Watching this movie made me a little sad; it brought Sirius back to life and brought happiness to people again, and now all I can think about it how it's not going to stay that way.
I also loved the humor in this movie. Cuaron has a way of putting small bits of humor in, many times through Ron (who was adorably confused throughout..."Did you see her come in?!"). I also loved the twins just because they fit so well this time around. When they introduced Harry to the Marauder's Map...that was lovely.
Oh, and the whole concept of time was great. It really hit me: what Harry and Hermione did when they went back were crucial to the way things turned out in the end. Very cool. And like several of you have already mentioned, the time symbolism was pretty significant. I'm glad Rowling allowed Cuaron to add the clock tower. Not only was it a beautiful addition to the cinematography, but it also meant a lot concerning the passing of time and how everyone was growing.
And speaking of the filming, the movie really was beautifully crafted. My sister said the Whomping Willow was one of the few things she didn't like (like when it was attacking Harry and Hermione) because it looked unrealistic. But other than that, she said it was great. Buckbeak looked so real! Just look how much this movie has grown since that troll in Philosopher's Stone! *more applause to Cuaron and his team*Unlike everyone, apparently, I think it was better if they just left out the Mauraders. There is the insinuation that Lupin was one, and if they just said that James could transform into a stag I think a light-bulb would've gone off in everyone's head that these men who went to school together could transform into somehthing with Prongs, something to do with Moons, etc. I know there's emotion in the movie, but I didn't really feel it tons. It felt like in each shot of plot, there was a shot of emotion that didn't really feel to carry over to the next scene. For some reason, I think it would've been awkward to (a) fit it in, and (b) show Harry's reaction to it all. The movie did fine without it. I'd like to address this, too, if I could. (Yeah, I feel like just ranting forever since I'm a week behind. ) I agree with Pkia. You can still feel the emotion between Sirius, Remus, Harry, and Snape, so I thought that was enough. Besides, Cuaron doesn't seem like the kind to make his movie direct and obvious, and explaining something as personal and nostalgic as the Marauders seems like it would be out of character.
In a sense, I can see why people would find this a problem, but the way I saw it, Cuaron made PoA more of a movie for the people who've already read and understood the book. PS and CoS tried to be separate entities, which was okay, but Cuaron almost made PoA an "extension" of the book, in my opinion. For me, the movie actually reinforced the idea that PoA is my favourite. He showed so much subtle wonder, so it seemed like you really could be a part of this world. And all the actors worked so well with each other.At first I was also wondering who that guy directing the choir was, finally realising it was Flitwick. It seems another guy got the part. And is it me or maybe a misprint in the book or something but in the book it's spelled Moony while in the movie Mooney. I realize those are all small details, but yeah, the guy playing Flitwick looked really different; he looked really pale and with black hair. Yet I believe the credits (yes, I stayed and watched all the credits) said it was still Warwick Davis. The movie also did mispell Moony.
And because I'm sure no one's even reading this anymore, here are some other parts I liked:
[/i] going to be them: "Do you want to move closer?") - Buckbeak (he was adorable when he was chained up in the pumpkin patch) - the freezing effect the Dementors had - the Dementors in general - how creepy/weird Cuaron made the movie (with the creepy playground, the Dementors, all the dark scenes, etc.) - the sad parts, like Harry watching the picture of his parents, the end Patronus, and freeing Sirius[/ul] The one thing I definitely would've changed about the movie: that freeze-frame at the end. [/color]
