Another great film in the series!

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2004)

This was another fine adaptation of the Harry Potter books, and one could tell that a different director was at the helm. I came away wanting more though, because the action / story made the time go by so quickly. I thought there were a number of things that were left out of the film that will be important in the later films (in terms of the story). For example, there was no mention of the fact that the names from the Marauder's Map (Mooney, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prong) were Harry's Father and his friends. That is important because they picked on Severus Snape as a classmate, which explains why Snape treats Harry the way he does.
Still, the film is great and I hope Warner Brothers will take a lesson from Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and consider filming the last three movies close together so we do not have to lose this cast as they grow.
