Great, Great, Great

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2005)

I hated the first 3 movies and am one of the harshest critics of the Harry Potter Movies yet I came to the see it expecting disappointment. Instead I adored it. Although they missed out the Veila, the Dursleys (the only book in which I can bear them), most of the Barty Senior/Junior History and the Quiddich Cup I loved it. The Dark Mark was more dark and scary than i imagined (which was probably a good idea since I imagined it bright green and purple) as was the Death Eaters attack (way more scary) and I thought the Death Eaters masks were great, although most of my peers didn't get it because they didn't know anything about the KKK (hope that's right).
Although it was rushed some parts just weren't important enough, but I would have liked to have seen more of Victor Krum's personality and the leprechaun gold argument. I have always hated Daniel Radcliffe, loathed him, but after this movie I was gob-smacked. He can act! I dunno if it was the director, or he had grown up or something but it is obvious, THE BOY CAN ACT! Ron was also wicked, but I don't get why Hermione cried after the Ball. Voldemort was very good also and I liked the fact he looked human.
But the BEST part was when Harry came back from the graveyard after Cedric had died. and no-one had realised he was dead and they all began cheering and Harry was crying hysterically, I began crying. And mind you i have never before cried at a movie. Never. Not even at Titanic, Romeo and Juliet or Bambi. I cried for so long. It was the most moving piece of cinematic material this year.
