Could have been better

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2005)

It would have been better if Dumbledore was played by Max Von Sydow, and if Fleur was played by Heather Burns. They would have done much better in the roles, as they could easily play the part the way it was written in the book. I think Max Von Sydow has the perfect speech, and look to make Dumbledore come alive. Richard Harris had it down pat, but I don't think this guy can play it right. Other than that, it was great...the guy who played Mad Eye Moody was perfect....he really brought the role to life. Also the guy who played Krum did an excellent job. The special effects were very good too.
I wish they would have stayed closer to the book, but I guess somethings get sacrificed due to time. I think everyone who loves Harry Potter would sit through a 4-5 hour movie. I hope they bring out extended versions on DVD like Lord of the Rings did. I would happily buy them.
