Not the same story as the book.

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2005)

To start, I will admit I am a bit of a purist. This harry potty movie is very thin, and loosely based on the book. The movie seriously lacks any dialog, character development, or for that matter, plot matter that was originally in the book. Just about the only plots that weren't chopped out were the tri-wizard tournament and Harry's confrontation with Voldemort. Virtually everything else was eliminated or changed to fit this hacked rendition. Even the tournament lacked the essence portrayed in the book, as if it were just another everyday event in the life of Hogwarts. Several characters are missing, and character personalities are changed to fit the new story. If you are looking for a movie about the original story, this movie isn't it. If you are just looking for another blah action thriller with poor acting, zero dialog, and very little point, this is your movie.
