Worth seeing movie

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2005)

I'm not a Harry Potter fan but with the plot and its excitement in the movie, I give it a thumb up. It's entertaining, excitement and full of imagination. A dragon fight, an underwater sequence and skin-crawling set pieces as the dark Lord Voldemort rises again. It's full of terrors and unexpectedness. Harry, as usual, has bigger things to worry about. His name has been mysteriously entered in the surprisingly dangerous Triwizard Tournament, a series of tasks that appears to lead him in the direction of the dark Lord Voldemort. Steven Kloves' screenplay doesn't make this path particularly clear  a pitfall, perhaps, of turning a 752-page tome into a feature-length movie. But the movie still immerses you in a sense of place and magic that builds its own kind of momentum.
