Harry Potter rocks!

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2005)

This was an awesome movie! I took my wife, who is not a Harry Potter fan (Neither was I for that matter!), to see this movie. The theater was jam packed with kids and adults alike, and especially one annoying girl who kept screaming and calling out the names of all the characters!!! My daughter(who is only 3) loved all the scenes (Yes, she was wide awake throughout the movie!!!)! I'd say this movie is definitely for kids (and the kid in all of us!). Harry and the gang growing up to be adults and their love interests were well rendered. Radcliffe as Harry was charming and so was Ms Watson, who is blossoming into a charming lady. Ron did n't seem to have too much to say in this movie I think. Lot of puns on him though!! Poor Ron!!!
The visual effects were fantastic as usual and the return of Lord Voldemort pretty ghastly. My wife thought he looked ghastly! The only haunting experience was the death of a fellow Hogwarter, which I believe kids don't like. Also, maybe the 'competition' did look rather too heavy and gruesome for kids.
The Potter mania continues!!! We wait impatiently for the next Harry Potter film, and my advice to Ms Rowling...please don't kill Harry Potter!!! It ain't worth it!!
