extremely disappointing, in other words... it stank

Rating: 2/10 (24 July 2004)

I am an avid reader and I really liked the Harry potter books. I was very very excited when I heard that warner bros. were going to film the movies. The first two were exceptional and lived up to my expectations. But.... the third one was waaaaaay below the standards set by the first two. B/c ,first, the acting was horrible,second, the geography was nothing like the other movies, third, none of the big aspects of the book were explained. People who have not read the book do not know why the stag came in Harry's patronus or what wormttail exactly did. The direction, screenplay, writing and editing were very poor. I give this HP movie a generously kind 3 out of 10.
