Not really the best Potter-film so far

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2006)

I loved the previous films and even more I loved Joanne K. Rowlings marvelous, funny, witty novels... I thus had great expectations when I went to see this movie and was to some extend disappointed. The book being the best of all Harry-Potter novels and all the good reviews made me even more interested...
As it turned out, however, I found the film to be overrated. Some of the best scenes were missing and a lot of the jokes were cut out. Especially the scenes during the Quidditch Championship were horribly adapted... But still the beauty of the images and the great performance of some of the cast is worth watching the film. Especially Ralph Fiennes truly outstanding performance as Lord Voldemort, which could possibly not have been adapted better, makes this film a good one. His interpretation of the character is amazing!
Reading the book, however, is necessary before watching it!
Hopefully "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be adapted more closely to the books.
