fantastic for what they had to do, one must admit

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2005)

Like most other Harry Potter fans, the fourth book is my favorite. I love every single detail and rabbit trail Jo has in the book, but when you think about the fact that every page in a book translates into one minute on the screen, i'm okay with having a 165 minute movie instead of an almost 800 minute movie. As much fun as it would be to see it all, we all waited on pins and needles for this movie, and to put every single thing in would have taken much longer. I was highly irritated with the way Dumbedore was abrasive and very short with Harry. They could have handled casting a bit better, I don't think Clemmence Posey was the best Fleur. She definitely looked the part, but there was no explanation about the veela. Overall I think the movie was amazing. Definitely should be watched by HP fans and non-fans alike.
