Great for a movie!

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2002)

I notice that Harry Potter movies are getting "markdowns" because they dont totally fufill the book as everyone would like. I am one who agrees but think about it. You have 3 hours to make a movie that takes 2-5 days to read. You have to cut down a few scenes that arnt on plot. Most of the written words are how the characters look. So were getting it without realising it. This movie was funny, dramatic, heartwarming..Everything. It was a great movie. Movies arent ment to be word for word with a book..reading a book is fun..Watching it line for line isnt! Its fun to have changes, it makes the book more surprising to the readers of Harry Potter. Others say that it was "plotless". Book 2 is out of the Harry Potter book flow. We all know that. Book 5 is said to be the one that puts book 2 in the circle of books. It was more fast pace cause we know whos who and whats what. Get in the story and foucus most of the time on the big scenes. A childrens movie? Yes. A childrens book..NO! Im 16 and i have read the 4 books numerous times. I know older people who have to. Its more like a adults book that remind us about our childhood. Its on a childs level for them but its also on a higher lever for older people. Everyone of the actors did so well. Harry/Dan was so much more coragous. Hermione/Emma was a lot more forward and emotional. Ron/Rupert was just pure funny! Tom/Draco was much more malevolent and evil. Also with the other children/teen actors they did well. Every single one of them. The adult actors brought the tone and so wonderfully! Alan Rickman, Jason Isaccs, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, and Kenneth Branagh, Robbie Coltrain, and Shirley Henderson all did outstanding. All of the cast, crew and members of this did so well. I enjoyed the effects. Next time hopfully Quittich will be longer. Sad to see Chris Columbus step down but Im trilled for "new blood" to direct and see what will happen. Prisoner of Azkaban is most likely gonna top the first two. I hope so atleast.This is more focused around Hogwarts so thats a good thing. We get more in class and Quittich. Also Alan Rickman..who everyone wants to see more of.
Rating Movie wise: 10/10 Book adaptation: 8/10 Improvment from prequel: 10/10
