Movies never compare to books, but this one came close.

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2005)

The first thing you have to remember before going to see this movie is that it will not even compare to the book. Technology, personal interpretation... whatever. It'll never be the same. That being said, of all the Potter movies this was probably my favorite. I was a little skeptical going into it, wondering how it was possible that GoF was such a long novel and here it was in a 2 1/2 hour movie.
The movie isn't the same as the book, but as far as movies go it was amazing. The special effects, the script... they covered the basics and more. There were parts I bawled, parts I laughed so hard that I spilled my popcorn (it really was a tragedy...) and parts that are just so utterly amazing that I felt like I was there.
Yeah, some stuff was a little off and there were other things that could have been left out and something better put in, but all I have to say is go into this movie with an open mind and you will most definitely enjoy it.
