I saw the HBO version, and it mainly states that Prof.Umbridge is only there to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, but in the book didn't she take Dumbledore's place as Headmistress. And the centaur guy taught DADA? I can't really remember so sorry if I mistaken, cause I read the book once and that was during its release :]

I want to know what will actually be different. I'm a fan of the books before the movie, so please none of the answers such as, "well when you see a movie based off the book its going to be different/bad". I KNOW THAT! I want to know what will be different...if anyone knows.

The Book was far more entertaining.

Hi everyone, Im Joel from Bolivia and I have already seen the best Harry Potter movie yet. (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).
Here in La Paz Bolivia the premiere of this movie was the midnight of July 10 - 11. Meaning that the movie began at 00:01 a.m. of Wednesday July 11. It is great to see a movie here in Bolivia before anyone else in America. For you all to know, the time in Bolivia is the same ET in USA.
Im obviously, HAPPY and I have to say that it is a HUGE movie. The best moments for me were when Dumbledore escapes from his office with the help of Fawkes, I really liked Grawp and Kreacher. But I didn't like the things they changed from the books, for example in the movie Cho Chang is the one who reveals the location of the Dumbledore's Army practices and then Severus Snape says that Cho told the secret to Dolores because they gave her Veritaserum. Actually the movie is too short, you never get to See Ron's father in the hospital and in the department of Misteries you just get to see the Prophecies chamber and the Dead chamber and you never get to see the other chambers. But I really loved Luna, she is just like I imagined her. and you never get to see Fierenze in the movie.
And Sirius dies fast too, I mean there is not such a long battle and Bellatrix looks like a crazy woman more than a witch.
There are a lot of other cuts of the book, and I can say that I will be HARD to understand every second if you haven't read the book yet, because they want to give so much information in such a short time.
But after all It is a great movie, has a lot of action. I wish that they had included when Sirius is almost caught by Umbridge in the Gryffindor common room fireplace because you just see him talking trough the fire and just like a gosth, not like ashes (like previous movies)
There is no Quidditch match In which Gryffindor defeats Slytherin. And of course we never get to see Neither Gilderoy Lockhart in St. Mungo's nor Neville with his gran visiting his parents.
We never see Rita Skeeter writting for the Quibbler.
and of course I wish they didn't cut the part when McGonagall is stunned. but they did.... OUCH!!! of course everyone was expecting to see that.
Anyway is a good movie... See it as soon as you can.
bye

The dementors were different, the explanations of some things such as Neville's parents' torture were different, and certain lines were given to the wrong characters. Neville is credited with the discovery of the Room of Requirement, which was stupid. Little things mainly. I do think that considering the length of the book they managed to get pretty much everything in, but that means that they couldn't spend much time on any one subject. It kind of...flitted. It still made sense though.

this movie was better than the last one because they have a new director but it still had huge gaping holes in it. if you didnt read the book you wouldnt understand it at all. ms umbridge made harry potter use the quill that scratches the back of his hand in the book but in the movie she makes a whole classroom use it.
another diffrence that really bothered me was that in the book the weasley twins were wreaking havoc for days and in the end they set up a swamp that stays there for weeks. they went out with a bang. but in the movie the only thing they did was set off fireworks during class.
they also didnt show the O.W.L.'s taking place in the movie at all!

you're in luck! i watched the movie today and here are the differences i've spotted:
-the howler for aunt petunia didn't arrive
-the reason why the dursley's left the house was to get dudley out of his demented state as compared to them receiving a prize of some sort.
-fred and george were in the DA
-cho chang was the one who spilled the beans of the DA meetings instead of her friend
-the commotion created by the twins were during OWLs and not when harry was in umbridge's office to contact Sirius
-Firenze didn't teach Divination
-the part when they were in the ministry, they didn't go through all the rooms they saw before entering the room where the prophecies were
-all members of the DA were forced to write lines that were etched in their hands (just like harry when in detention with Umbridge)
-they didn't go to the hospital thingy where they met gilderoy lockhart and neville's parents
-neville told harry about his parents
-kreacher wasn't as mean in the movie as in the book
well those are the things i remember... oh and umbridge wasn't just a teacher. she later took on dumbledore's position as headmistress of the school...
despite these differences, i hope you still watch the movies as it was really nice! the book's always better though... hope i was able to help you!

have not heard that, yet heard a posting right here that each physique the flicks are cr4p. the 1st 2 have been dire (through fact of Chris Columbus) and could not agree greater, yet then Alfonso Cuaron filmed the third and did it brilliantly. whether you hate the books, you won't be in a position to deny that that replaced into how the books would desire to have been made. She is large, yet there are lots of who would desire to play the area...Jennifer Saunders? She'd be greater suitable than the voice of the Fairy Godmother...

The film is never going to be exactly the same as the book otherwise it would be several hours long! They have to edit it in some places so if you think you are going to be disappointed then don't watch the film - just read the books!

the main difference is when you read a book, you see your imagination. but when you see movie you see the producer imagination. it can be better from your imagination or can be more than you expected.
