Clearly the best of the Potter Series so far

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2005)

I am amazed how well a 750 page book has been condensed into 2 1/2 hours of film. The action and tension never wavered and as an adult I love the fact that the characters are growing up into interesting and in real life incredibly photogenic people. The three main actors improve every time I see a film and the most noticeable improvement to me is in the acting skills of Daniel Radcliffe, who displayed an emotional range that I have not seen before. I look forward to seeing him and the other main characters in future Potter and non-Potter films. I have seen this film more than once and it has already been added to one of my all time personal favorites. I must admit that I am a shameless "Potter" fan whose love of this story began with the books. For those of you who are upset with some details being omitted, get over it. Overall, the end result is an extremely well crafted and enjoyable film.
