worth the wait

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2005)

Maybe I am just a fan.. but I was on the edge of my seat... The acting was excellent; the adaptation held it's own; the emotion was high and appropriate to the plot. Sure there were holes I think for those who are not fans of reading the books... but I loved it! Very scary at parts.. wonderful changes in the characters.. like Dumbledore for the first time losing control.. well played.. very well played.. what a performance. The only thing that I can say that would be remotely negative is that Bartimus Crouch Sr. comes off like a child molester.. I read the books of course to I knew the implication was not that in anyway.. but for someone unfamiliar, they might wonder at his motives and why Moody says.. Trying to lure him to an apprenticeship.. It funny to me as a reader.. but unclear to someone who is not.. BUT WOW,.. fantastic.. different... wonderful.
