Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

Wacky atmosphere, lacking scenario, pathetic villains (speaking of Draco & Co, the Dursleys, Aunt Marge) and generally bad directing  especially regarding kids, Peter Pettigrew and Emma Thompson. It's clear that it's difficult to say at the tender age of 10-11 years if some kid will be able to act at all . Nevertheless, there are no excuses for letting a generally good actress entirely out of control. It was as if Mrs. Thompson played in a different movie. Thanks God there were also Allan Rickman, Gary Oldman and David Thwelis, so the movie wasn't completely ruined.
I join those who are missing Chris Columbus and wondering what the fourth part will look like.
