The Harry Potter Magic *Spoiler*

Rating: 3/10 (4 December 2005)

I love Harry Potter. I have all the movies, read the books like a million times and know the plots inside and out. I understand that this fourth book is incredibly long, so portions of the movie had to be cut. Out of all the movies thus far, I have to say this is the worst of them I have seen. The movie was accurate in terms of the basic plot which is fine. One thing left out of the movie that has been consistent in all the books and previous movies is the magic and sparkle of the time at Hogwarts. There are times in the book where times are happy and Harry's world comes to life. There are times in the book that shows how great Hogwarts is compared to the life he has at home. none of which was shown in the movie. The movie is dark and lost a lot of the imaginative touch that was put in the book. THe movie is no longer appropriate for children, but has moved to the teenager and adult audiences.
