I have just finished reading the book. Yeah... started the day i wrote my review and completed it last night.

Bought the book some months ago but because been busy with school have not gotten to reading it.

Anyhow, I know why the fans of JK Rowling are so mad with the director already. There has been some major changes to the plot although ultimately the results were the same.

Firstly, for those who have watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets would know, there's a house elf that Harry Potter set free from Lucius Malfoy called Dobby. He was not at all mentioned in the movie Goblet of Fire. He was also the one who gave Harry Potter the Gillyweed, not Neville who is supposedly only good at herbology.

Then Dobby's good friend Winky was also not mentioned. There's some kind of sinister relationship between Winky and Barty Crouch Jr. that's not being shown and deleted altogether in the movie.

When the dark mark was conjured, Harry Potter was not the only witness. Ron Weasley, Hermione and Harrypotter, all three of them, heard someone giving a magical command and witnessed the dark mark being conjured up in the sky but did not see the person doing it.

And yes, Hermione's dress was periwinkle and not the pink depicted in the movie

Anyhow, while the book was entertaining, I also feel that the movie is worth watching.

Some parts have to be omitted in order for it to be a movie and to me, as long as the director kept to much of the story plot, as long as the murderer is still the same, I am alright with the movie.

For a book that is 600 over pages thick, it is no easy feat to produce its movie. I still think the director did a good job.

Well, well, for those who insists that the director should kept to the book, then i suggest there be a director who is patient enough to direct a series ( you know much like those waste of time, taiwanese series that drag and drag, because the director wanted to show how fairy-like the heroine is or heart wrenchingly leave her hero) im sure, there would be supporters for this kind of detailed series.

But i doubt i would be one of them.
