Do you think harry potter movies before the goblet of fire were the only ones that did justice to the novel?

You have to expect changes in the movies. The books are so intricate and rich with plot and characterisations and smaller storylines that it would be impossible to squeeze it all in a film. They have to make allowances and cheats to make things happen. I'm not that keen on Goblet of Fire the film myself because of many of the things you said. It irritates me at the changes. The first two Harry Potter's are most close to the book because the plots are a lot more basic compared to the other movies. However though they still have missed things out, I think that they've done very well with HP and the Deathly Hallows part 1. Having read the books and being a big fan of them I can fit in things that I know from the books, I do wonder however how well people who have only seen the movies understand what is going on.
