good movie

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2005)

For those who didn't read the book this movie will be too fast, and will leave them with many unanswered questions. But for me, I read all the books, it's OK. OF course there are many left-out scenes but the director manages to pass past this. The movie is full of great scenes and great acting.
I'll start by Emma Watson who even though had many parts of her character cut out of the movie does a great job. Her Yule Ball scene is magnificent and I could understand perfectly how happy she was that someone noticed her and then how disappointed she was in the end when Ron ruined it. In her scenes with Daniel Radcliffe their chemistry ignites the screen and this is mostly thanks to her. Her great way of showing what Hermione is feeling leads to a more understanding of her character for those who didn't read the book - it's obvious how much she cares for Harry and that I think is very important to the plot in general.
There were other great scenes - all the tasks and the graveyard, and even the light ones like when the Weasley twins try to put theri name in the goblet. The part where Harry brings back Cedric's body is very emotional. And therefore the film succeeds in bringing out the right tone for what is going to happen.
Great ending too - Hermione's 'everything is going to change' says it all.
All in all good movie.
