Don't mind these over-extreme fans! - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Reviews

Seriously, I've have been a Harry Potter fanatic since the first book dropped and I can tell you everything that was left out of the movie like any other fan. But these extremely crazy fans who expected to see all 870 pages of OOTP in the film cannot be taken seriously. I wouldn't dare to criticize the film as if I could have done better. This was one of the best Potter movies yet, right up there with GOF. The casting for Dolores Umbridge, Luna Lovegood and Bellatrix Lestrange was brilliant. The film was beautifully shot, the special effects were top notch as the films have always done, and they stuck to the most important parts of the movie. And the develpoment of the original cast is great. I'm tired of these so-called "fans" being harsh and over-demanding of these filmmakers...how on earth do they expect to see every little detail in the movie. News Flash: JK Rowling is part of the production every step of the way and essentially has the biggest influence on the films! Can you honestly say the audiences actually missed out on a great film because we didn't see Ron and Hermoine as prefects? Or that it was soooo important to see Cho's best friend being the tattle instead of Cho herself? Not really, because the point of the whole Cho issue was clearly made regardless(I won't give it a way for those who have yet to see it). And that is what the whole movie boils down to; what is really important. I, like many die hard fans would love a whole 10 hour Harry Potter film so that I can see every detail that I read about come to life...But can you people optimistically say that that is reasonable for the general public? You're insane if you do. It's insane to think the whole film is ruined because Aunt Petunia didn't get a howler, or there was no quidditch, you can't be that serious! And if you are going to be a fan, then be a REAL fan and give credit and support to Dan, Rupert, and Emma and all the cast and crew because it's not exactly easy to make such a film. Anyone who can't understand that you HAVE to cut out too much details when filming HP movies to make everything fit knows nothing about the movie industry and therefore has(in my view) an obsolete opinion that I can't trust. To those of you reading this who aren't die hard Potter fans, but just want to see the film I say GO! Look at all the bad reviews...you'll notice a pattern. It was the same thing with Star Wars so I suggest you be the judge and not let crazy, chronically unsatisfied fanatics sour your judgement on a very successful trilogy.
