Trailer sucked. The films are shit. Go watch Batman.
(Note: I love the books so I am justified)
No. You aren't.
Yes, I am. The movies can't POSSIBLY contain the sheer volume of information required to express the awesomeness that is the "potterverse" and the magic therein. Especially considering the damage done to the storyline already in conjunction with the fact that book 6 is almost nothing but storyline/background filler from all the gaps in the previous books - the movies simply can't follow the same path and therefore are suck.
And honestly, the kid playing Tom Riddle was just nothing like what was described in the book. Too cute, too soft spoken, too excited, and did not come off as evil by any means. Shit, Dumbledore looked more evil than he did.

Welcome to every book-vs-movie argument ever, you must be new.
The point is to enjoy the material in its new form. Yes, clearly, the movie will contain less data by volume.
But similarly, quality can make up for it.
Your long post could have been summarized as "I won't watch it" and would have been just as effective. Your extra words didn't add anything that made me care. 8-)

I like the movies alright. I am very sad that the original dumbleydore died. He was a good actor. I have since gotten used to the new one though so it is alright.
Oh, I am going to watch it, you miss-understand. I just think they leave out the most important bits and replace them with the most unimportant parts. The movies become nothing more than the typical garbage that hollywood tosses out on a monthly basis and it is upsetting because even if they don't include all the wonders of a 700 page book they should focus on what makes the books so unique in the first place.

The guy who plays Harry is doing porn. Gay porn. White gay porn.
It's pretty awful
I just remember liking it a million times better than 5.
I thought he did Porn involving Horses
I, too, have read the bash.org top 100
Everyone knows that interracial is the only gay porn worth watching. Or midgets.
A lot of gay porn happens next to a horse. It's a running joke that I think originated in SEATTLE
Secret Satan
I have never been to bash.org
I heard it from someone here
my pager just went off
Who the fuck still has a pager in 2008?
Voldemort vs Dumbledore makes it all worth it
