Harry Potter Question

*SPOILER ALERT* Did anybody else have issues with the major differences in Dumbledore's death scene in HBP?

i'm sorry in advance if this is a duplicate.
i just mean, i think the movie made Harry look real bad. he just stood there and didn't try to do anything. meanwhile, in the book, Dumbledore was supposed to have paralyzed him and thrown the invisibility cloak over him so that there was NOTHING HE COULD DO! in the movie, it just seemed like Harry chickened out and didn't bother trying to stop what was happening.

What do you think?

I don't think that this made Harry look bad. It is basically the same thing. He feels helpless, because he promised Dumbledore that he wouldn't come out of hiding, and it makes him hate Snape because he thought that Snape was there to help him. The details may be different, but the main point is still the same. And Harry didn't "CHICKEN OUT". He was getting ready to do something, but Snape stopped him and made it look like he was going to take care of it. Also, until it happened, Harry had no clue that Dumbledore was going to die, because to him, and the rest of us, it seemed impossible.
