Best One Yet

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2006)

Book four has always been my favorite of the books, and now I'm glad to say that this is my favorite of the films. Mike Newell did an excellent job with this movie. Ralph Fiennes is perfect as Voldemort, and I thought Michael Gambon did a very good job (I don't get why everyone hates him. Is it because he's not Richard Harris? Get over it!) I was surprised by all the negative reviews on here. Whenever you watch a movie that's based on a book, you need to remember two things. 1. This is a movie that's based on a book. 2. This is not the book, it's a movie, so enjoy it for what it is, not everything it's not. Enjoy the exciting action and adventure without the sometimes absurd subplots such as Bagman owing money to the Weasley twins and Hermione's house elf support group. This is an excellent film, and I think Mike Newell is the best of all the directors so far.
