My Thoughts on the Third Film

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2004)

I am a huge fan of JKR and her talent. However, I was a bit disappointed with the 3rd film. I thought the director did a rather poor job on the continuity of the storyline when compared to the book (too choppy), there were changes (ie. Hagrid's hut had been moved, the whomping willow was in a new location, etc.) that should not have been made. I enjoyed seeing the characters again but feel it should have been better. I hope they find another director for the 4th film that will bring the quality of the book into the movie. Afterall, the entire cast is wonderful but they need someone with the vision from the book to bring out their characters so the story, as written, will be brought to life! I would only give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
