the best harry potter movie so far

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2005)

This movie was great, dark like the book and the cinematography was spectacular. Harry's ride on Buckbeak was amazing except for the Titanic-esquire part. (Cheesiest part since the freeze-frame ending to Philosopher's stone!) I really liked how they animated the map. Only thing I find missing is an explanation of the Marauders and why they had the nicknames they had. Everyone I know who hasn't read the book was confused by that and the stag at the end makes no sense unless you know who "Prongs" is! They should have Alfonzo Cuoron back to do more! He did a much better job than Chris Columbus and I think he got the tone of the book down pat!
