[@CeltycSparrow]

Daniel Radcliff has proven (EVEN in this very series) that he can portray a boy in love with a girl and have it be believable and genuinely sweet. He did it with Cho. He gazed at her on the train, he spilled his juice when she was looking at him. There was that whole moment when he kissed her in the Room of Requirement. With Ginny, we see VERY LITTLE, if any, of that behavior. He has more chemistry with HERMIONE, and even Luna, than he does with Ginny, who is meant to be his girlfriend.

[@rabiyaashraf950]

It's coz Emma and Daniel are friends off set, not to mention he had a crush on her when they were little. Bonnie and Daniel hardly have any chemistry not to mention they completely pulvarized Ginny's character. Even Harry was very different in the books. So yeah, it's the directors fault, they were clearly pushing for Harry and Hermione since the start, and they even said it themselves that they thought that two main characters, a boy and a girl are meant to end up together.

[@bighuge1060]

Harry carelessly reading the Daily Prophet in public, then leaving it unattended on the table was just another example of careless screenwriting. Regarding the burning of the Burrow, it was an insane addition, especially when the burrow appears unscathed in the next movie, and with no explanation with regard to the fire. Also, not a single witch or wizard made a move to save the home; they simply watched it burn. No spells cast. A ridiculously stupid decision. I'll go one further that the filmmakers left out an important exchange that was in the novel showing Harry's defiance to the new Minister of Magic; something that would have made the Dumbledore Will Scene in the next movie dramatically exciting.

[@bighuge1060]

And one added note: As this movie was Greyback's introduction to movie audiences, it featured him appropriately. However, the following book featured him some more as the leader of a group of snatchers but in the movie, the leader was switched and Greyback became a background character in different-looking makeup. I never understood that writing choice. I really hope the series is redone and redone faithfully to the novels. The book series deserves as much.

Most of the meaningful interactions with Hermoine Ron's also there. Luna sees him as just a friend, and it's hinted from book 5 that Harry was having romantic feelings towards Ginny.

Wow, changing 'annoy' to 'mean to me' is definitely huge. It did come off like he was bullied for being different. But not only that, we saw Harry do the same thing in the first movie with his cousin, so it seems pretty human. But just by annoying him? Especially because the word 'annoy' is VERY open to interpretation. And my guess is that the book version was annoyed by a lot of people who were doing nothing wrong. So it goes from "I use magic in defense" to "Stay out of my way", very different tone.

I started liking ginny and Harry together in the books when Harry asked, "Fancy trying to find a compartment?" This was when they were on the train going back to Hogwarts at the beginning of the session. Ron and mione were off to their prefect duties. Ginny said that she had to meet Dean and left( her long red hair flowing behind her). That was just so so strong that it gave me goosebumps. Also, the time when Harry smelled Ginny's smell during their potions class when amortentia was shown to them.

Sorry, I'm a big fan of romance and I say that with no shame! JKR is horrible at writing romance. One of the worst. While there were a few hints, it's true, we the readers saw virtually no interaction. So the romance and attraction came suddenly and with no real explanation. We see a real relationship between Harry and Hermione and even with Harry and Luna, but we're simply told that there's interaction between Harry and Ginny. Their scenes together are flat and dull. Harry/Hermione, and Harry/Luna have some really deep and moving scenes. So the whole Ginny/Harry thing is just boring and not particularly believable. I think JKR just wanted a way to make Harry a part of the Weasley family and Ginny was a convenient ploy to do so.

To add to 12:23, the love potion in potions class is said to smell like some personal preference. In Harry's case, it's some flowery scent he believes to have smelled at the Burrow before. Towards the end of the book it turns out this flowery scent is in fact Ginnys perfume.

I feel a lot of the later movies suffered in the relationship department due to them not fully knowing that Hermione wasn’t going to end up with Harry. It always feels that was the direction the movies were pointing to, then they had to backtrack when Rowling decided she’d be with Ron fully. So I think they intentionally made Ginny and Harry super awkward to show how much better Hermione and Harry would be as a couple, despite Harry and Ginny actually making more sense.

[@Some_guy_passing_by]

If the director read the books carefully, it was clear from book 1 that Harry always thought of himself as the third wheel. From book 3 he had an idea what was happening between the other two , in book 4 he was SURE that Ron was in love , in book 6 he was sure Hermione was in love as well and that Ron was making a mistake. In book 7 Harry was like " Yo , stop making out when everything around is burning "🤣 Until movie 3 we got the right chemistry between Ron and Hermione and then the romance part went downhill because the directors didn't pay much attention .

I doubt this. The last book was released while Order of the Phoenix was in post production, so they knew well in advance of where the characters would end up. I’ve actually read the original shooting script for OTP and it included a very over-the-top scene of Ron saving Hermione in the Ministry.

The big problem with Voldemort in the films is that they left out one of the most important aspects of his character; that his father was under a love potion when he was conceived. This and the line change concerning him making bad things happen changed him from victim to just a villain.

[@OverLorD768]

They left out almost every interesting aspect about him, including his entire character. His lust for power, fear of death (the main motivation for him to create the horucruxes in the first place), him being a loner and despising friendship as a concept. Voldemort was interesting in the way that he was the dark reflection of Harry in many ways, while the movies boiled that down to "Yeah, he's the bad guy who hates muggles because why not, and he has horuxuses, oh, don't you see how bad he is?". Thanks, Daivid Yates and Steve Kloves, for turning one of the coolest and well written villains ever into a meme.

When i asked my friend who he thought were the better couple between harry and ginny and harry and hermione, he said ginny and harry 100% and i'd wondered why until i read the books. Then I finally understood, cause in the movies ginny is so underused and just not shown to be a good character cause she was just shown to be a bland, awkward character to fill space. Then when they did get together in the movie at the end it felt so off since harry and hermione had much better chemistry the entire series (especially adding the dancing scene in deathly hallow pt 1).

It made it look unnatural during every scene that took place in lighter places like the great hall or outside several times. And in the scenes where it was dark like the cave it was simply impossible to see what’s going on. I do believe this movie should’ve had a darker color tone but I don’t think it should’ve been quite as dark and so unnatural.

I agree, the buildup to Snape's reveal as the Half Blood Prince is almost non existent in the movie. In the book, Snape orders Harry to show him all of his school books when he catches him using Sectumsempra on Draco. This also sets up how Harry found Ravenclaw's diadem in the Room of Requirement, since he saw it as he went to hide the Half Blood Prince's book (unlike how Ginny hid the book for him and they kissed in the Room of Requirement). Then of course Harry uses Ron's potions book as a decoy, but Snape obviously knows Harry's not telling the truth. Because of that, plus what Harry did go Draco, Snape gives him detention every Saturday for the rest of term, making it so Harry couldn't participate in the Quidditch final.

[@sivad1025]

That, and the lack of color in the spell casting (and complete lack of creativity). The first three (and even #4) had bright colors in the magic, even when the scenes were tonally dark. Everything is so grey in the later movies. Even the candles in the Great Hall don't look like candles because they're so muted. In the last movie, there's a triumphant moment where McGonigal fights Snape and lights the candles back up. But it's so underwhelming because the room only lights up maybe 5%. The clothes, the magic... it's all lifeless.

Davis Parks never saw lotr I guess. But dark color can be used smartly. Coming from the point of view of an artist, if you want the light to be noticed, best bet is to start off with a black or grey and then add in your highlights. So the movies could’ve been a darker color but then have moments when it’s a bit lightened to bring focus to this happiness inside the dark.

It would be so easy to fix this film I could list all of them Cut down the relationship drama and instead focus on Voldemort's past and backstory Have Dumbledore and Harry walk to hogsmeade to apparate to the cave and then they ride on brooms to the castle Keep the battle of the astronomy tower. Keep Lupin and Tonk's relationship (cut Hermione and McLaughlin's relationship and cut down most of Ron & Lavender's relationship) Remove all the stupid comedy and increase the focus on how dark the world is becoming Have Ginny and Harry kiss after the Quidditch game and Ron nodds to Harry then we see them on the grounds talking about their relationship (done right this could be pretty emotional) Remove the burrow attack so we'll fit more of Voldemort's past in Have Snape question Harry after the sectumsempra scene Have more focus on the mystery of the Half-Blood Prince because when Snape's revealed to be the HBP the reveal has almost no impact because in the book as Harry starts to hate Snape more (finding out he told Voldemort the prohecy) he respects and admires the Prince more which made the reveal so good in the book. But in the film almost nothing happens between Harry and Snape and the Prince's book is barely mentioned in the movie With all that added the film would have eaisly been close to one the best in the franchise

Potter Princess Fred and George were 20, she was 16. Only seventh years were allowed to stay to fight. Because her whole family, the order, and basically everyone she cared about was there, she was allowed to stay but she had to be in the great hall because while everyone else have already become experienced adults, she’s not on that level yet. Like imagine Harry even fighting in the battle of hogwarts when he was 16. It’s quite a much bigger leap. War is about sacrifice, in order to protect the ones you love you have to be willing to put everything in the line. This was also the battle of hogwarts, something that the outcome would change the entire world for better or for worse for a very, very, very, long time.

The problem is that "the Half-blood Prince" is the best book and the most important of the series, hands down. It shows Voldemort's past and explains the hocruxes. So, with that in mind, the sixth movie is the worst because it left out so many important and interesting details and added unnecessary stuff.

[@chrisblanc663]

It was always my least favorite, mainly because the schooling aspect is almost none existent. The story has moved on to the upcoming Voldemort, Harry battle. It feels like they have already outgrown the school, and we are missing the much more interesting war outside the school. I do love the learning about Voldemort past, and think editing most of that out of the movie was the greatest sin of the movie/series. Jk has no romantic writing ability, and I don’t know why anyone thought it would make a good focus for the movie. But if they were going to go that route, why didn’t they make sure Harry and Ginny had some decent scenes, and chemistry?

Going through Voldemort's past and seeing where he got all his Horcruxes from was some really interesting shit. The relationships stuff was on the back burner because ultimately it didn't matter. Ron never ends up with Lavender so why dedicate half a movie to it. The Troll stuff had me in hysterics I had no idea that was a thing.

[@martavdz4972]

In the books, the Ron and Lavender story is important because it makes Ron and Hermione realize they want to be together. And it makes Ron relatable because we've all made awkward attempts at relationships as teenagers... Also, the unsuccessful romances were shown IMO to point out that war influences even young people with their usual teenage problems and the fact that they all come together in the end and fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, because fighting Evil is more important than past romances and relationship problems. "So young... to be fighting so many." But I agree, focusing on them in the HBP movie at the expense of other plotlines was totally ridiculous!

I just couldn’t get past the random death eater attack at the burrow. Not only is it very out of character for Harry to be so unprotected (the Dursley blood protection Dumbledore insisted on, for instance), but there’s no way in hell Voldemort wouldn’t go there himself to kill him if he had access…instead of sending Bellatrix and Fenrir to randomly harass them.

It really annoyed me that they left out all the Voldemort memories and ESPECIALLY how they treated the half blood princes book! Harry literally admired that book, even after performing sectumsempta on Malfoy, in the movie, they made it seem like it was something dangerous to be hidden away to stop Harry going down a dark path, but Harry justified the prince in the novel, not the spell, but he was showing signs of being a huge fan of the half blood prince, they really missed the mark of how much Harry and Ron too admired the half-blood prince, unbeknownst to them both it would end up being the person they hated most. Plus, to cut out the funniest part of the whole series even when trying to make it a comedy, AND would have incorporated Harry’s love for the half-blood prince’s book (and the real reason why he hid it in the room of requirement) is a full on crime. ROONIL WAZLIB was a lost opportunity. The relationship stuff was awful, especially Harry and Ginny lacking that chemistry as much as they did, and Yates butchering ginny’s confident character. The astronomy tower battle, and as I mentioned earlier, Voldemort’s memories which made half-blood prince my favourite book of the series. So much detail given to us of Voldemort’s past. Snape was my favourite character, didn’t have enough of him in this movie when it was all about him showing his “true” side. Also neglecting to mention how it was Snape who told Voldemort about the prophecy, to say nothing of how little they talked about the horcruxes, as dumbledore already guessed what a lot of them were but maybe the ignorance of the objects made it better for deathly hallows part 1.

[@RaycastAF]

This is honestly my favorite of the series which is a massively unpopular opinion. But I understood why they did a little comedy here and there. Cause it was about to get really dark and would remain dark till the end. So it was just a bit of a send off for the happy Harry Potter we met as a kid that was bright and happy and Experience.

[@omarreyes7626]

@@MaiNguyen-rn7zxthat is something that cannot be answered because in real life beauty is a very subjective thing, and Emma shot to fame over her constant screen time, for example, me personally never understood the public fascination with Emma Watson, she was attractive sure but not the bombshell a lot of my friends said it was at the time, to begin with, Hermione in the books was never considered attractive, that's why nobody ever simp for her the way Ginny was in the books, that's why everyone was impressed with her appearance in the goblet of fire's book version of the yule ball, and that's why it took to long for Ron to realize his feelings for her, she was essentially the ugly duckling of HP, this all boils down to the fact that this is one of the disadvantages of live-action, you can only go so far trying to cast the perfect fit for a fictional character, animation doesn't have that problem you can follow the character design to the letter by the book description, hence why I think that if they ever reboot the films, animation would be a better choice.
