Book is always better than movie.

Rating: 3/10 (26 November 2005)

First of all, i'd like to say i'm a great fan of the Harry Potter book saga, I love the story, the characters, the hand wright, everything.
But most of everything I love the way this books come alive through your imagination, and a movie about all the things you have imagined and dreamed about, ends up to disappoint you.
Don't misunderstand me, it's a good kids movie, but certain things just do not wash over me. I can't let go when some happenings in the real story are changed, manipulated, or even left out to make some space for facts that in the books never actually happened.
I know that, when you make a movie out of a book, it is difficult to be 100% faithful, and that some things have to be left out, but not modified, that's not the way things should work. This is not Harry Potter, it's basically the same plot, but many of the main facts are left out or modified.
Another enjoyable movie if you like special effects and kid-like humor, another bad movie if you are a fan of the book series.
