I have something I have just recently noticed about all of the HP movies. None of them have the little funny moments that the books do! In the 4th movie for example, there is no Ton-tongue Toffee, no Canary Creams or fake wands. And even though they had the scene in the prefects bathroom with Moaning Myrtle and Harry...well that just bordered on sexual harassment.
And they didn't put in the scene where Myrtle gets flushed into the lake during the second task. Also although this doesn't really fit in the subject, I really missed the creatures in the maze. And the golden mist that turned the world upside-down! So much was simply glossed over...:(

Yes! That's the exact reason why I like the book in the first place, and there's simply no time for that sort of thing in the movie. There should be an extended edition, like Lord of the Rings did.

YES! Or bettter yet, they should let our community direct the next movie.

Agreed.

And I missed them too. Specially the Sphinx.

Well, you know, kid-eating mazes require WAY more magical talent than navigating past magical creatures does. That's why they did it. They know better than the author of the books (also why Harry lived at the Weasleys' and the World Cup isn't really a game at all, it's a big viewing of a magical poster).
