Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Of course they cut out from the books. They have to. Read any decently sized book and watch the movie. They always have to cut stuff out.

Harry Potter, Ive heard, is actually pretty true to the books. I havn't read them, so I don't know. Speaking of which, I followed all the movies just fine without reading any of the books.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think Eleo was saying more of "why not have it in there"

I was actually a tad disapointed we didnt get to see any of the championship quidditch match in the 4th movie.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

For some reason, the first time I watched the movie, Cedric Diggory's father's crying at the end seemed unbelievably fake to me and I almost wanted to laugh. And of course, Voldemort was alone with Wormtongue in Harry's dream that Hermione somehow found out about; the fact that they added Crouch Jr. into the scene was far from following the book, and Harry even tells Dumbledore that he saw the guy alive after the Pensive. The entire flow of the movie was unbelievably skewed.

I didn't notice all of those faults... and I didnt hate GoF, but it was definately a step back from PoA. It beat the second one, and had more of a cool factor than the first one, although I think it is overal weaker than the first movie. Thus placing it in 3rd of the 4 movies, or second to last if you prefer that phrasing.

I actually read Order of the Pheonix, the only one I read... so it'll be interesting to see it on screen. Now, maybe stuff was cut from the end of the 4th one, or maybe my memory just fails me... or maybe it has to do with the fact I havn't read any of the other books...

But does it seem like the flow from the 4th movie into the 5th book will be sort of akward, or a bit too fast?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
