Dark and excellent

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2005)

It's just not possible folks to put the WHOLE book into ONE film, so lay off the gripes about what was cut etc. This is great - the essential elements are all there, unlike POA which left out a VITAL element, i.e. the identities of Padfoot, Mooney, Wormtail and Prongs (although interestingly Pettigrew is happily referred to as "Wormtail" in this film). The film is really dark, and scary, and moved us to tears at the end. What more could we hope for? Voldemort is the stuff of nightmares - I'm glad my kids aren't small any more, we would have taken them and regretted it. As it was, we all enjoyed it A LOT and recommend it to Potter fans and non-fans alike. I want to see it again soon.
