Acting coach required...

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2005)

Emma Watson is lovely but really could have done with an acting coach on this one. Rupert Grint is unexpectedly, to me at least, shaping up to be a fine actor. One can only hope that he can make the transition once the Potter series ends.
CGI effects were good but not flawless. See for example, group of people walking through the forest, camera from the rear. See also Harry underwater with fins swimming away from the camera.
Ralph Feinnes, Roger Lloyd Pack and David Tennant all excelled.
Shame Julie Walters was cut. In a cynical moment I considered that only the elements worthy of turning into console games were left in. Shame on me.
