Worst in the series by a LONG way

Rating: 4/10 (25 November 2007)

I have never been fully satisfied with how the Harry Potter books have been brought to the big screen, but this certainly left the most to be desired. It's a pitiful attempt of transferring possibly the best book in the series into to cinema form, with terrible screenplay which leaves out vast chunks of the story. Unless you have read the books you just cant grasp the amount left out. Showed great promise in parts but simply failed to deliver. Pros: Voldemort and his death eaters were just as I imagined. Really like the snake look of Voldemort. The Dragon Task, very tense when harry slips down the roof is very tense The Special Effects in the Film (e.g. the Quidditch World Cup Stadium) Rupert Grint who I think is perfect as Ron. Funniest part in the movie is when he dances with Maggie Smith(Professor McGonagall) The way that everyone is against Harry, Potter Stinks etc Cons: Missing out the action in the Quidditch World Cup final, was possibly the aspect I was most looking forward too. The amount of context cut out from the film, the house elf's in the kitchen etc. Sirius, or more the lack of him. Very minor role in the film, makes his passing in the next film not really matter.In the book Harry relies heavily on Sirius to pull him through the Tournament. He is probably the living person harry loves most in the books.
I just think it's a shame how Rowling's work has been executed so poorly in comparison to the way Jackson directed the Lord Of The Rings. She and the books deserve better.
