Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix —
I love this series. I have followed it since I was in 3rd grade. I will read and reread the books over and over again for a looooooooooong time. BUT......the movie was definitely NOT up to my expectations. Although I have lowered them quite a lot since I realized the movies were never going to actually bring J. K. Rowling's masterpiece to justice by actually portraying the characters and plot correctly, it still disappoints me everytime I go to see one of these movies. Did anyone realize Winky never was in Goblet of Fire? Did anyone realize no one mentions anything about Harry's eyes looking "just like Lily's"? The eye thing is big, and his eyes are blue throughout all the movies so far. They are going to have to twist the Lily thing hugely to make up for it.
