Good movie, a bit different than the book

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2005)

For fans of the books you will not be disappointed with gof, all of the most memorable and important moments of the book have made it into the film (although some scenes have been altered for the film which may anger purists). Unfortunately, almost everything else has been cut from the film. depending on your patience this is a good thing however as the film runs 2.5+ hours so there is already an awful lot of material here. the story is more mature than the previous (which you've probably already hear 100+ million times by now) but this is good. All of the scenes where the students struggle with the opposite sex are quite entertaining.
The acting in this installment has been really stepped up from the younger members of the cast. i feel Rupert (Ron) and Emma (Hermione) out shined Dan (harry) in the acting department which is too bad as he is the protagonist but thats OK. The professors as always deliver excellent performances (i especially enjoyed Maggie smith as mcgonagel and mad eye moody (can't remember the actor)).
The Special Effects in the film are breath taking. PERIOD.
this movie is worth seeing for all fans and not fans of the potter series alike. The pace of the film is extremely quick (and in the beginning i found it was probably a little too quick). The acting in this outing is a cut above the previous films especially from the kids (or teens i guess i should say now). the film has a sense of humor that is more like that found in the books now, which is good in my opinion.
