A good adaptation of the worst book.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2007)

The director, in my view, had a very good go at adapting this book for the screen, as it is (in my opinion) the worst book. I can't really comment on the plot twists as I knew what was going to happen anyway, but it was very well acted by both the child actors (Luna Lovegood being the standout actor - head and shoulders above the rest) and the adult actors. Umbridge was perfect as the auntie who'd rip your head off and then worry about the blood stain and Helena Bonham Carter was also very good as Lestrange. Some actors let the side down (in my opinion Daniel Radcliffe overacted although everyone else made up for this with their performances). Overall, a very well acted piece and a pretty reasonable adaptation of the source material.
