The absolute best Harry Potter yet!

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2004)

A little dark, almost too scary with the shrunken head guiding the bus driver on the Knight Bus in the beginning to the dementors guarding Hogwarts, not to mention the skulking werewolf in the shadows. It's quite far into the movie before we see Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), I would have liked it if his character had a larger part. Hopefully in the next movie we will see Harry living with his "Godfather" instead of that awful Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. And how many of us would love to do to someone what Harry was able to do to "Aunt Marge"??? I am very happy and lucky to have been able to see this movie as a treat. It was actually my niece (my Goddaughter) who won the tickets and took me!!! I know it should have been the other way around, but way to go Kendall! (BTW good luck with the Constitution Test today, I love you, call me if you need me) And thank you! I can only hope Goblet of Fire is as good. I believe I will need to start reading the books before seeing the movies. I really wanted to be Hermione when she socked Draco one! Want to go see this movie again but I guess I will have to wait until it comes to the theaters, I KNOW I will be buying this one when it is released for home sales and keep my collection growing. My friend Denise bought me the first one and I thank you, too Denise! The introduction of new Professors and new creatures in this movie really re-directs some interest. Shame, shame on anyone who would behead a lovely little Buckbeak. I hadn't read the book and was hoping that somehow, maybe with the use of the time tuner we would find that Harry's parents (James and Lily) aren't really dead after all, maybe just hidden in one of the paintings (maybe behind a cow with the fat lady) or trapped in a mirror. This is a very exciting and wonderful movie, EVERYONE must see it! AND ENJOY!!!
