Could Have Been Better

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2007)

I am a longtime Harry Potter fan. I have read all the books and have seen all the movies. I was very disappointed with this one. I felt the movie's producer did not follow the book's format very well. While I understand that movies cannot tell the exact story from the book due to time constraints, I feel the movie could have been made a lot better. They left out some very crucial items that would have lended relevance to the plot. Maybe they're saving these aspects for the next movie, but I seriously doubt it. If I were JK Rowlings, I would be upset. I hope that a different producer and director are chosen for the next installment and that JKR has more say in how the story is adapted to the screen. I still hope for the best and will remain a Harry Potter fan despite this most recent film's poor quality.
