Too Many Scenes Missed Out But Good Special Effects

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2006)

I'm a big fan of all the Harry Potter books so far and I thought the first book to the third book were all successes as films and the new director has definitely captured a darker side of the book and i think it has improved the book. However I was slightly disappointed with his film. I loved all the special effects and the Triqwizard tournaments but I think they missed far too many scenes. For example I was really looking forward to seeing the sphinx who riddled Harry but instead Harry and Cedric simply ran through and grabbed the cup. I'm really disappointed with the new Dumbledore as he lacks the wise and respectful approach that the old Dumbledore had (excuse me i cant remember actors names)I didn't think Malfoy was shown enough or Snape and the idea of quidditch seems to have slowly gone out of the window. I'm especially looking forward to the 5th and 6th films. I've given it a 7 because it still has that magical Harry Potter feel to it :)
