The actors they've chosen have all been superb in my opinion, but the directing and screenplays have been pretty downhill after Chris Colombus dropped off.
I already figured out how the 6th and 7th movies are going to be directed. The 6th movie is where Harry and Ron are struggling to take the Ring to Mount Doom, and the 7th is when Harry manages to throw it down the ventilation shaft of the Death Star.
On topic:
I have no complaints about the books, except I was hoping that we'd hear more about the Mirror of Erised.
On the subject of the films: out of the five, I think that the Chris Colombus ones are the worst.
I thought that Alfonso Curan did a good job with Prisoner of Azkaban, and I think that David Yates has done a superb job with Order of the Phoenix. He's also directing Half Blood Prince, which should be interesting.
See, I thought the directing on Order of the Phoenix was the most appalling yet.
I was literally BORED throughout the movie, and it was like he wouldn't let the actors play their parts with the exception of Luna. If I heard one more "a storm is coming" or some other cliche attempt at a foreboding, cryptic warning, I would have written a strongly worded letter to my congressman in favor of carpet-bombing everything within a 150 mile radius of Hollywood.
I finished number seven today and went to go see the fifth movie shortly afterward.
I'm sad the books have ended... I would have liked a longer ending, one that addressed all the loose ends, however few there were.
The movie was alright. Downright horrific if compared to the fifth written installment... And I don't like Harry's new muscular look, I couldn't help thinking of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His acting was great, though, as well as the other recurring characters. Luna was my favorite out of them all. She was just so charming.
