The film disappoints the book readers very much.

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2006)

I was very disappointed by the movie. Having read the book i was expecting something different. The book itself is the biggest up to now - introducing a lot of knowledge about the wizarding world.
The film (there was enough stuff to do 2) reduced the book to action sense after another. Harry Potter flying for minutes (was it to sell a console game ?!) as we have never seen before - OK there are quidditch matches in every film - but [...]
They could instead have shown a bit more about the houseelfs (S.P.E.W, winky & Dobby), the Bulgarian mascot, the silencing of Rita Skeeter, the death eaters terrorizing they world, paid more attention to detail (moody's trunk is different and what use is a locked item, if any graduated wizard simply can open it? ).
So as a conclusion i would have loved more story and more detail about the world of Harry Potter (muggle or magic alike).
