Something Fresh!

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2004)

To tell you the truth i wasn't expecting much from the film, i had always enjoyed the books so much more then i ever did the movies as i never felt they truly explored what it meant to be apart of the magical world that is Harry Potter. This film almost did it, and thats how close a film will ever get to it, because nothing will ever be able to compare to the books. The dark themes were right alongside the simplicity and beauty. It was much more streamlined which helped but at the same time there were the poignant scenes between harry and Lupin. I wish more of a relationship could have developed between Harry and Sirius as that was never really explored but other then that, it kept me captivated.
