~*-The rise of Voldemort-*~

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

Yes, this was a beautiful adaptation. And you can clearly observe the fact that the director was English. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was a bit too Mexican, while the first two films were simply American-like blockbusters. Though all of them were good. The main actors are giving a more mature interpretation of their characters, unlike Alfonso CuarÃ³n's version where they were more rebellious and "cool".
Daniel Radcliffe impressed by expressing Harry's original emotions from the book, through the movie. You can clearly see he is having so much fun playing Harry, while he is capable of more. He is showing more in every movie he does.
I spent a lot of times thinking whether Ralph Fiennes was the best Voldemort. I came to the conclusion that he probably wasn't, but I remembered the first time I saw "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" at the cinema, I was amazed, my first thought on Ralph was that he is the true Voldemort.
All the deaths in the movie specially Cedric's are so painful to Harry because he witnessed them all.
The screenplay was amazingly done to fit into a single movie, though I would have love the return of Dobbie.
My opinion is that Mike Newell gave an accurate Potter world, but I cannot say he was the best. I don't believe in the best when it comes to this movie franchise. Every director yet made a good movie, amazingly done, every each of them. I'm really happy they didn't made some low budget movie out of J.K.Rowling's genius Hogwarts world.
