Good adaptation

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2004)

Very faithful adaptation of the book but overall unsatisfying addition to the series. Radcliffe and Watson continue to grow into their roles but Rupert Grint's Ron Weasley has lost his charm. Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman are utterly wasted with almost no screen time to develop their characters.
Michael Gambon is a poor substitute as Dumbledore. Perhaps, he could be replaced by a CGI Dumbledore.
The characters of Lupin and Black were well done and certainly carried the film.
My rating 6 out of 10.
