yes, as far as the movie / book thing go, alot of details have to left out in order to fit the time alloted. The movies are OK, the biggest dissapointment I found with the movies were the score. Two scenes come to mind, One was in the first movie near the end after Harry defeted Voldemorts(sp?) host, and the other was in Prisoner of Azkaban when the dementors were driven away at the lake. I think the music and sound effects could have been better. My other comment is that I think the movies could have been a whole lot better if they were all CGI. They would have been able to give it an allover magical feeling, rather some of the scenes and transitions between live and CGI look really cheezy (to me anyway). Goblet of fire has a LARGE bill to fill due to large amout of information. ie class time, subplots, and all the compitions, not to mention the battle at the end. I guess we will see.
