Some better than others

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2007)

I, like many others, are a huge Harry Potter fan. I read the books over and over again, check mugglenet whenever I can (which is always), see if there are any updates on JK's site, and see the movies first thing I can. I have read many reviews saying they absolutely loved it but I have to disagree. It was a mere disappointment to me. They had the longest book to create into a movie and made it the shortest of them all. They left out a lot and what they did put in they could have added more. I wished they would have put more into Snape's Worse Memory, and not have rushed the beginning.
They did do a wonderful job in casting, though. Luna was fabulous, they described her as having a dreamy voice in the book, and they nailed it in the movie. Bellatrix was exactly how I pictured her, although her high cheek bones do scare me a bit. Tonks was beautiful and she was in fact my favorite character.
Overall, this movie may be worth paying the ten dollars to go see it but don't get your hopes up to be seeing the best movie ever.
