"Brilliant!", as Ron would say

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2005)

The very, VERY best movie made of the Harry Potter books. My favourite book was No.3, but I didn't think the movie of that one was nearly as good. However this one has exceeded all my expectations. Although I enjoyed the book, I did think it could have done with some decent editing as there was a lot in it which didn't really add to the story. The movie has pared the book down to the actual storyline and as such it's made SUCH an improvement. And although it is quite long, you don't notice the time passing because there are always things happening. The CGI and special effects are absolutely wonderful. It left me quite in awe (a bit like LotR) at the type of things that they can do these days in movies. I laughed, I cried, I loved! If you haven't seen this movie yet, go - NOW! Oh, and it's a must see on the BIG screen.
