I don't think anymore of the movies should be made...

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2005)

While the Harry Potter series may be best-selling books, the movies made about the series are not nearly as good as they ought to be. The first few movies were alright at best, and with reason. The three previous movies all had things in common with the books; all three were relatively short. The fourth (Goblet of Fire) was quite a bit longer than the other three leading to serious film-making problems. Even with the movie being over two hours long, so much was left out from the book that the story line was compromised. Fellow moviegoers that had not touched a copy of the book had no idea about what was going on in the plot. The plot was further compromised by added scenes which barely pulled the movie out of the gutter with comedy. Not only will I not recommend this movie to other people, but I will advise people against spending entirely too much money on a movie that relies on the book it's based on to promote itself.
