In Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
Harry and I suffered a tremendous loss. I am afraid to continue reading. Since I've seen the sixth movie, I know who the next loss will be and I just don't know if I have the strength to handle it. Maybe since I know what is coming next it will be easier to stomach. Damn you, Voldemort! One thing I am looking forward to in the next book - How did Harry do on his O.W.L's? It makes me miss school! I've realized why I have always thought lowly of Harry Potter (the boy). In the movies they take away all of his incredible feats, either ignoring them or attributing them to someone else. Sure, he has one big fight scene per movie, but his loyalty and the constant tribulations he has to face are glossed over or ignored completely.
Another detrimental difference between the books and the movies is how Dumbledore is portrayed. In the books he is always very calm and collected, as if he's already seen everything and there can be no more surprises - there is nothing he can't deal with. However, in the movies, Dumbledore's feathers are always getting ruffled and he shows anger easily. I have even seen him run! Dumbledore does NOT run, not even to catch a train. It's undignified.
It is as if the directors don't want us to see the true face of Harry Potter and Dumbledore. I have a sneaking suspicion that they may be Death Eaters.
