I thought that the entire series of Harry Potter movies (released to date) were absolutely terrible. They deviate from the stories in the books and they change the characters. They are a cheap commercialisation of the books which were also terribly written. I am quite aware that i may become chastised for this but looking at the books from the perspective of an English major student, they seem to have nothing new or remotely impressive to offer the literature world besides a halfway entertaining story.
