Best movie yet, but still could be better

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2005)

I believe that this is the best adaption yet, but it still could have been better. There were too many holes at the beginning, and the producers assumed that viewers would know some things and didn't explain them (Snape questioning Harry about the Polyjuice potion came out of nowhere). I read the book just after the first movie came out, so it's been four years...I don't remember everything. I suppose some things have to be cut out when you have a long book, but you have to compensate for that. I also missed the Dursley's in this one. I hope they bring them back for Order of the Phoenix since Dudley is involved in a major scene at the beginning. Still...a good movie...worth the wait...9/10.
