Great film in general, Pretty good adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2006)

I thought this was a great movie. I may be biased, however, since Mike Newell is one of my favorite directors. If you had never known, read, saw, or heard anything about Harry Potter before in your life and went to see this movie, you would think it was just a great movie with humor, suspense, action, some romance, and tested friendships. I mean, if you figured out all that Voldemort stuff, ya' know?
This adaptation focused mainly on the Tri-Wizard tournament, which is the main focus of the book, but still could've included a crucial sub-plot (which was cut for time) about Hermione and the house elves. Anyone whose read the books knows who and what i'm referring to, and no that was not a spoiler at all.
The character development in this movie focused mainly on Harry, of course, and Ron. They showed Hermione's physical transformation from the other films, but not her personality. Overall, the movie was great and included so much chemistry between the characters and a lot of comedy to my surprise. I laughed at this movie more than some comedies from this year. if you are willing to go to the movie for length reasons, it is a great one to go see, or wait for the DVD soon. Have a great time!
