A good adaptation from the book ~~coud have been better

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2008)

First time i saw the movie when i din have the habit of reading at all but i enjoyed it though i could only get a overall view of the movie and not anything about it deeply.Just few months back i started reading HP books and i loved it.Then i wanted to see the movie how it was portrayed from the book.First thing i observed was everything was going fast in the movie.Many scenes from the book have been shortened or not used at all.Few things which i thought were missing are 1)No quidditch in the movie.Ron found a place in the team and harry was given a life ban..nothing appeared in the movie..2)then hagrid..he had too little scenes and his face should have been more damaged...3)The timing of few scenes were different from the book..4)They never mentioned ron and hermione were prefects ..Fred and george's departure was justified to some extent i would say..other than few flaws the movie is good..if u just wanna follow the movie w/o reading the book u can but u r missing a great excitement present in the book..yes as many users say its somewat hard to follow w/o reading the book.I would rather recommend them to read..The book is awesome...
Although not the best portrait of the book the movie is good in its own ways.
