I didn't want it to be like the book Deadsy Send a noteboard - 16/07/2011 06:39:30 PM
Both climaxes make perfect sense in the books, but both would be visually underwhelming and would not satisify movie crowds.

Good decision to change.....and I had no doubt that was what they were going to do.


the movie version of the battle was better in quite a few ways. I didn't want them to have a dialogue in the great hall for 5 mins and then cast one spell at each other. But I did Voldemort to be killed in front of everyone. I'm not sure exactly how I think it should have been done, but perhaps when Harry and Voldy went smoke-monster, they could have crashed through the Great Hall and had their fight there. Or there could have been people fighting in the courtyard (which in the movie is right by the Great Hall) and they halt what they're doing when they notice what's going on.

I certainly think you're in the majority, re: 7.1 being easily the best movie in the series. *NM* Legolas - 20/07/2011 11:35:13 PM 526 Views

Yes, no surprise that you'd have more tolerance for the changes. Legolas - 31/07/2011 11:22:41 AM 889 Views
Never read any of the books, but imlad - 30/07/2011 09:35:03 PM 1018 Views
The books are more coherent, more humourous, and more complex, to sum it up. Legolas - 30/07/2011 11:00:29 PM 941 Views

What? Goblet of Fire was my favorite by far until Deathly Hallows 1 came out. *NM* ironclad - 01/08/2011 07:05:00 PM 529 Views

The film in one word: Meh. Maria - 10/08/2011 11:25:54 PM 778 Views
