Ripped off by "Harry Potter, Complete 8-Film Collection"

Let me start by warning anyone thinking of buying this peice of junk. IT IS NOT COMPLETE AND HAS SO MANY MISSING BITS IT SPOILS THE EXPERIENCE. I'm not taking about missing bits that wheren't filmed or not made it from the book, I accept you can't get the entire feel of the books in a movie. What is missing is so many sceens which appeared on your movie screens cut from the DVD's making the DVD's feel like a paper doll chain (when what you wanted was to read the damb paper their made out of).

So, here's the story, I finally decided I would 'invest' in a set of Harry Potter DVD's. I love the books and had watched a few of the movies at the Cinema (the first 4) before feeling a bit tired of the way they where destroying the books in the movies (destroying meaning changing them, not omitting bits). Still, it wasn't an completely awful set of movies, I did leave the cinema in animated conversation and enjoyed them overall, they had some great moments captured. So why am I here today?

Well, those great moments which made the movies a treasure, have been unceremoniously cut out of the DVD's (presumably in some act of greed to sell an 'extended' edition). What it means is, I am watching ALL THE WORST ASPECTS OF THE MOVIES because what they cut where most of the parts where the movie managed to be decently faithful to the book. Watching the first three movies I felt "wait, isn't that supposed to have happened?" but I thought to myself "maybe I'm mixing it up and thats in later movies". Then I arrived at watching "The Goblet of Fire".

So FIRST, we arrive at the Quidditch world cup without the extended wander through the tents (that I'm certain appeared in the movie) where they comment on "some wizzards not being able to not show off" next they cut out the whole business about Harry buying Ron an Omniscope and removed the sceen of Ron's very genuine feeling excitment over it. For their next offence they removed the spell casting of Sonorus that Cornelius Fudge first makes then to give his voice a loud hailer effect. It totally destroyed the atmosphere, add to that the show the Death Eaters as having burned up the camp like a scorched earth Napalm mission (which was an offence of the movie anyway) totally overbearing an importantly balanced moment (the Death Eaters where JUST beginning to come back to power, they were being adult bullies at that stage lording it over other witches and wizzards. They where all in attendance and went into disguise to carry out the chaos, so they wouldn't be damanging property because alot of it would also be theirs!).

So, anyone wanting to relive the movie they recall enjoying DONT BUY THIS CRAP.
