Indeed, it is not easy to adapt such a long book into a movie. A lot of cuts are necessary. Generally speaking, the plot changes are fairly smooth.
However, the movie has changed too much of the original dialogue. Without Sirius, many, many wonderful dialogues have been lost.
Snippets that surprised me:
1. The scene without Harry. Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape faked Moody's in Old Deng's office. Old Deng decided to let Harry continue the game. Only in this way could he find out who was behind the scenes and his intentions. The original book did not write this level of understanding. Of course, the original book is from Harry's perspective, not from Lao Deng's perspective.
2. That conversation between Crouch and Harry: Never whole again, are we? Still, life goes on, and here we stand.
Both have lost their families, but still have to move on. This was said to Harry, as well as to himself. The film made Crouch more emotional than the original. In the original description, he is an ambitious and brutal workaholic. But I always felt that he had feelings, otherwise he would not have rescued his son because of his wife's pleas. This edit is good.
3. After Crouch's death, Harry went to Dumbledore's office and saw Dumbledore's memories. Karkaroff reported Snape in front of Crouch's trial, and also reported Barty crouch, there was a pause at that time, everyone in the audience thought he was reporting Crouch himself, and they were all stunned, Ritasky Te had a gasping expression at the time, and then Karkaroff said "junior". At that turning point, everyone's expressions were so awesome that only a movie can make this effect.
4. Dumbledore racked his brains to sit on the ground and said that every time I was about to solve the mystery but always slip away is too Maddening. The movie makes Lao Deng feel like a man, not a god. He would also be confused and confused. This is actually good.
5. Lao Deng finally apologized to Harry and felt that he had suffered, but the original book did not.
Other plots can only be said to be a very passable level of concentration of the original.
The worst part is that the traditional gender concept is expressed in this film is too serious, a hundred times more serious than the original, this feeling is not there in the first three films. Beauxbatons is not a girls' school! Durmstrang isn't a boys' school either! My god, I'm so lazy. Fortunately, the director only made one film. Let's see if the next three will become normal.
