Not the best Potter Movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2007)

This movie was indeed your typical Potter movie but it was definitely not the boy wizards best outing. Although in places it was a little boring, it was indeed a good movie. True fans of the book however will be a little disappointed. The character of book 5 seems to be lost a little, with far too much emphasis being placed on the depressive aspects. With "Weasley is our king" being left out completely and the happier times included in the novel being very underplayed. Sirius Death has also been butchered and true fans such as myself will be left disappointed.
However its not all negative, the new additions of Luna Lovegood, Bellatrix Lestrange and Tonks were brilliantly cast and wonderfully played. The old cast members who have been notoriously bad at acting in the past are constantly improving with Rupert Grint in particular outshining the other 2 lead roles. The show down in the ministry was also fantastic and Fred and Georges firework display didn't disappoint.
I'd recommend seeing the movie to judge for yourself but all in all i'd say it was good, but it could have been better.
