Good but could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2005)

This movie had so much potential and did indeed prove that the series of movies is worth waiting for, but this one could have been so much better.
For instance, the Yule Ball was slightly disappointing and could have been longer. The dancing was great but still was a bit rushed in my opinion.
The acting is getting better with one exception...Daniel Radcliffe. Do not criticise me but I fail to see how what he does is seen as acting. This is my opinion though.
The trials were very impressive, save the last one. Again this was rushed in my opinion and I do know that they probably had a set limit in terms, but still was slightly boring for me.
Great new actors, especially Krum. Although his appearances are quite brief, they are well set out. Fleur was good and well played. Cho had a small yet obvious part and she and Harry obviously notice each other.
So with the fantastic effects, yet slightly rushed storyline, I would give this a 7/10. Let us hope that Order of the Phoenix continues the series well.
