best of the series

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2005)

Besides the fact that I enjoy immersing myself into the Harry Potter books, I am an English teacher and appreciate the Harry Potter series for getting non-readers to read. One thing that I've found with the first 3 movies is that they do not do justice to the books. I was so disappointed with Azkaban that I didn't even finish watching it. I went to The Goblet of Fire not expecting to like it. Boy, was I wrong! It was by far the best movie of the 4 AND the one that followed the book most closely. The special effects in this one, at times, had me oohing and ahhing like a child! Kudos to this new director for making this movie the best one yet!
