Ok... someone help me out here. So I'm reading the Yahoo user reviews (yeah I know...) and all the people dissing the movie keep mentioning the fact that Rita Skeeter's animagus form wasn't revealed.
Didn't that not occur until the 5th book? I mean I remember them shoo-ing away a bug in the 4th book, but I don't remember that tidbit being revealed for sure until the 5th. It just seemed REALLY nitpicky.
I liked it. I felt like I was going through a Cliff Notes version of GOF in some parts. But good visuals and action sequences. Better acting on the boys' parts. (Awesome facial expressions.)
And Voldemort didn't look as scary as I imagined him to be. But it was still well done.
On a side note, I think we were sitting in front of people that had never read the books before. When Voldie removed Malfoy's mask in the graveyard, I heard a collective *GASP.* It was so funny.
ETA: Barty Crouch Jr. was a FREAK! The actor was awesome. Same goes for Mad-Eye. Loved the "gum under the table" scene.
