Harry Potter book vs The Order of the Phoenix movie

When book are made into movies they always seem to lose something in the transition to the big screen, and that is just what many people have said about the new Harry Potter movie The Order of the Phoenix. Although we always know that the Harry Potter books are far better than the films, what many people have said is that The Order of the Phoenix is one of the weakest movies of the bunch.

My good friend Mark here at Product Review, recently wrote a post about the reviews & ratings of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and boy did that spark of a huge debate, here are some of their thoughts:

Emma Granger had said this movie was by far the best out of the entire Potter set; however Sofia Estrada did not agree, she had said that the movie was nothing of what I expected and said that it could have been much better. She then added I know that usually movies are different tan the book but only slightly, unlike in this movie.

Angela though has some very strong views where she said that she had completely supported the decisions of the directors and writers in the previous four movies, but she feels that everything from the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix got complete butchered in the movie.

Shea agreed with Angela, she thought that too much was changed in the movie, not subtle differences but huge differences, which is a huge disappointment for hardcore Harry Potter fans.

Caitlin thinks that the movie was awesome, but she wished that the movie would have shown more rooms in the Department of Mysteries. Many people agree that Snape’s memory could have been more like the book naïve and knows that not every detail from the book can be squashed into the movie.

Well there seems to be a pattern to some of those comments, it seems as if Director David Yates took his changes just a bit too far and missed some key scenes.

What are your views was the book better than the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie?
