Best Movie By Far

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2007)

****SOME SPOILERS***** I know, I know. They left out St. Mungo's, quidditch, the swamp, and Lily. However, I think this was the best movie by far. They got all the main points of the book, and many of the lines were actually in the book. It wouldn't have killed them to make it 40 minutes longer and add more things, but all in all it was a great book adaptation. Most of the characters weren't too important, which was irksome, but they were in it enough for them to count.
The only real disappointment I had was how short Snape's memory was, and I was looking forward to that scene. (Snape is one of my favourite characters along with Draco and Lucius).
However, compared to the 3rd and 4th movies, this film was a lot more on target and had a lot more magic and excitement. The 1st and 2nd movies were on target, but boring at some parts.
In my opinion, I think this movie did the book justice. And that means a lot coming from me, as OotP is my second favourite book. (Next to HBP)
