The Best of the series.

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2005)

I may be a little too old to be Potterphile but i ain't ashamed of it.Yeah! i caught the show at a media screening and this is a too great movie to be viewed free.HAHA!lucky me!
This is the best of the lot as whoever's read the books will agree with me that this is the most action packed of the 6 books.When i read it i knew it will make a heart stopper.The length of the book concerned me as i realized that there will be some cuts and chops or else the result will be a 'Lord of the Rings' styled mutimovie series adding up to some 5 hours.
I had some doubts about the selection of Mike Newell as the director but he did a Peter Jackson with this movie.This may be the highest grosser this year eclipsing 'Star Wars Ep-III'. He's done a magnificent job shooting and editing this movie.Its smooth sailing.
There was once a talk of replacing the cast with older actors but the decision to keep them looks great as as the 'Kids' are growing up with their characters.The casting is great as always but the only glitch appears to be the casting of 'Fleur Delacour'. Clemence is good but sometimes Emma'Hermione'Watson(who's supposed to be this ugly duckling in the books) looks better than her. Or maybe i am biased towards Emma.
Anyway for you folks who will have to wait till its commercial release i am sure you will feel your time and money well spent.
Go and watch it.Folks!
