A bit of a let down

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2005)

This book is one of my favorite in the Harry Potter series. The movie cut out much of it, understandably. The special effects were amazing, and what part of the story they put in was tolerable, with a couple of exceptions. For example, where on earth did they find Dumbledore!?! He is NOT the Dumbledore in the books, not even close. Where is the powerful, yet kind and soft spoken man that watches over Harry, and all the students at Hogwarts? This man is harsh, loud, and unforgiving. There were also some key script changes, especially in the last scene with Voldermort, that completely changed the plot of the story. In the end it was entertaining if you are tolerant to the script changes and a ghastly Dumbledore.
