Great New Harry Potter film with awesome special effects

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2004)

I saw this film while in NY this past weekend with my daughter and best friend, and it was great. It did leave out some of the details of the book that will make true Harry Potter fans find it somewhat lacking but it had some awesome special effects and a nice plot twist or two thrown in. There's not so much focus on their studies and Hermione's part is more minor than I expected. It was enjoyable and I would go see it again. My daughter loved it as she loved the first two and Malfois get smacked for his insults as I've been desiring to do myself. There was a bird / pegasus creature in there that was interesting. And yet another glimpse of Muggle London life in comparison with the magical lifestyle. The characters are more down to earth in this film and you learn still more about Harry's parents, and the past. Overall, a worthy to see at the theater's film, and I don't say that about too many movies.
