What a Disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2004)

This movie is a disgrace to the series. The consistency issues in regards to the book and the first two films are readily apparent. Even to fans who have not read the books, the change in the geography of Hogwarts and how the characters dress are easily recognized as a break in continuity.
The screenplay is chunked and leaves many important pieces to the overall storyline unexplained. Needless to say, the scenes do not flow very well and it leaves the non-reader confused in many places.
This movie will unfortunately stick out like a sore thumb if the following films stick to the wonderfully developed world of Harry Potter.
