Great adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2005)

This is a brilliant adaptation of the book. The feel is dark and gritty and not for the very young. It continues in the vein of the last film. Meaning that there is more darkness and shadows instead of the bright colors of the first two films. The only important part of the book left out is the whole dispute between the Ron's family and his brother Percy. This makes the film more Harry-centered which is okay, but disappointing for true book fans. Ralph Fiennes is incredibly scary and convincing as Lord Voldermort. I kept wondering how Voldermort could be done. His voice is both eerie in its gentleness making it sound soft and snake-like. And his make-up is perfect.
