Now that I have seen the third movie, I hate the first two. Like, I can't even watch them anymore. When they came out I thought they were amazing. But now I hate them. Want to know why? Becuase I realized how BADLY they were done.
1.) Why did Hagrid's hut move from being on castle grounds in the first two movies to being down a hill in the pumpkin patch - WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FIRSTPLACE ?!!
2.) Almost nothing in the castle was right. The DADA room got bigger, they added a tower and the entire layout of the castle just either expanded or disappeared.
3.) Where did the lake go? Why was there no lake in the first movie, disappeared in the second and then reappeared behind the castle in the third movie?
4.) Where did the mountians come from? Why is there a random mountian range in the third movie?
5.) Whomping Willows... they not only kick your @$$ but apparently they run away after they do it. The Whomping Willow was a lot smaller in the third and it was like... forever and a day away from the castle where as it was in their front lawn - so it is easier to feed it bad children or something in the second movie. I mean, it wasn't even THERE in the first one.
6.) The road to Hogsmeade and Hogsmeade itself just kinda phased into existance too. I mean even though it just magically appeared in the third book without so much as a hint in the other two, they could have built it up a bit.
7.) The Mysterious Third Floor? What Third Floor? Oh... you mean the one that we weren't supposed to go into in the first movie.... ::slaps forehead.:: I think that after the stone was recovered and re-located the third floor was just cemeted in or was no-longer a no-no spot. So Fluffy just kinda sits there.
8.) Who killed the stairs? Why don't they move? It was magical in the first two movies but now it's like... Bah - Hogwarts is just a regular castle. They sucked the magic out and gave it to Harry... this is what will lead up to his Magic O.D int he forth movie.
9.) Why was it so bad for Harry to cast magic out of school in the first two movies but in the opening scene he is constantly casting 'Lumos' and not getting like a million owls from the ministry? He casted Lumos like ten times in that one scene alone. That should have been enough for at least a spanking. But I guess that since he's HARRY POTTER it's okay.
And finally, the tenth and biggest reason why I hate this moveie compared to the others is this. 10.) Draco Malfoy acts like such a wuss. In the first two movies, everyone stayed out of his way and feared him. But now he's a cry baby begging for mercy from who of all perople? Hermione. He could take her in a fight. And if he can't, he's got two chubby kids to back him up. One of which looks like he could spring for beer. But then again, Crabbe and Goyle are only there for one or two scenes before thweir scrawney little stunt-doubles clamour in. I hate the way they made Draco a B*tch in this movie. It's like, it was cool to RP as him and write fan fictions with him UNTIL NOW. This movie killed it. It took that sleazy bada$$ Draco Malfoy and just completely did a 180 on his character. He was nowhere near that wussy in the books. Nowhere near. In fact, so nowhere near he was far from.
So I guess, that I hate the other two movies because they weren't done right. But I hate the third movie because even though they fix the mistakes with the castle (except for a few minor things) they completely mess up the characters. Christopher Colombus, I hate you now. I didn;t know who you were before but I hate you now. I suggest you do a better job with the still pending forth movie.
I have a horrible feeling this is going to have the Lord of the Rings effect. Each movie gets about an hour longer.Not like that is a bad thing but the third Harry Potter was about 30 minutes longer than the last two and it wasn't even that good. So if I am going to pay 8.50 to watch some British kids blow stuff up, they better get the characters right. Not to mention that pesky ever-changing landscape.

P.S. I know, you all hate me now. I have defiled the Harry Potter name. But I think the books are way better. The movies remind me why I don't like people. They mess things up.
