very good, but still could use some work

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2006)

very good, but still doesn't quite do the book justice. The movie has excellent music, the acting was better than its predecessors, great scenery, action, dialogue, humor,mood, effects and such. However, there's still room for improvement. the character of dumbledore was altered for the worse. Gambon's a fine actor, but harris was better. this dumbledore was somewhat meaner and briefly manhandled harry after his name emerged from the goblet, which we know he would never do, as he told umbridge in book 5 when she caught harry running from his D.A. session and used Marietta for info. the dragon scene, good though it was, went rather overboard. some of the death eaters (lestranges)should have been introduced, they should have had some of the qudditch world cup game at least(i mean, that's the whole original reason they're at that field), most of the newspaper satire and S.p.e.w. were edited out, which do add somewhat to the story and give it more moral, which is a good reason why the book is so great. The graveyard scene, though good, needed the most work, because wormtail, who is a real coward and a whiner, hardly flinches when he cuts off his hand, and the scene was really rushed, as it left some gaps in the information that was necessary in the books, and voldemort is supposed to draw it out and savor his joy at being in his body again. although it missed numerous things, it's still very good.
