Not only bald, but he looked like an overgrown starved dog. The mental image I had was nothing like what I saw on the screen. :angry:

Besides, they are supposed to have "tufted tails" I think that means that they look a bit , correct me if I'm wrong, like I don't know maybe a wolf?!?!? I mean, come on, it was terrible.

I agree. A werewolf should look kind of like a wolf! NOT a hairless freaky thing. They did horrible on that part. And Harry's Patronus was supposed to be a stag. They only showed a stag ONCE out of all the times Harry performed the patronus charm.

I didn't like the little talking skull. I thought the movie was rushed, it never mentioned how Harry got hold of the Marauder's map, Fudge was terrible; I HATED THE MOVIE!!

But we didnt find out it was a stag until later in the book right?

You're, we didn't know it WAS a stag until the end, but JKR did give hints that it was something important.

I didn't like it because I imagined Sirius and Lupin totally different! They are supposed to be HOT! XD :D

I think there were good parts, though. I liked how they did the Hippogreif (that beast Harry flew on) and the camera shots were better as well. But you are right. The werewolf was horrible. <_<

Besides, since when are Dementors able to fly? It was a good idea, though. I liked it, but it didn't stick to the book... :unsure:

I really missed the parts with the firebolt. It really sucked that Harry got it at the very end... :( :angry:

I know we didn't find out until the end but it was never supposed to be a big light globe thing. You are so right they did a great job on the Hippogriff! I also didn't like how they changed the castle.

The Firebolt was to have caused a quite a stir in order to find out where did it come. Sirius and Lupin CONTINUE tobe totally different in my head.

Sirius is described as tall, elegant, with black hair that kept falling over his eyes... of course not the Sirius that had just broken out of Azkaban, but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

That is EXACTLY what I thought! He might have looked a little ragged after escaoing and hiding for about one year, but that does not mean that he looks like a tiny, slightly mad maniac! :angry:

Same with Lupin! ^^

I'm really curious what they'll look like in the next movie. They better not screw it up this time! (Though I doubt that they have changed the actors... :( )

What do you think about Michael Gambon as Dumbledore? I HATE HIM with a passion. He is so out of Dumbledore's charater.

Ian Mckellen (Gandalf) or Christopher Lee (Saruman) would have been so much better. :angry:

Dumbledore is presented in the books (and the first two movies) as a wise, calm, cool and collected personality. I've never remembered him to shout except in the DoM when Harry was going to get out of behind the statues which were guarding him. I never remember any description of him "braiding his beard", oh I could go on forever and not finish. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Uh, yeah, that was bad. I think Christopher Lee would have fitted in the role perfectly. He has kind of like this hawkish nose, wich I really miss on the actor who plays Dumbledore at the moment. They really made some bad mistakes at choosing the right actors for the right roles. *thinks of Sirius and Lupin* :angry: :angry: :angry:
