Director Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2004)

After waiting for what seemed an eternity, I finally saw my favorite Harry Potter book on screen. I was terribly disappointed! There was so much depth from J.K. Rowlings book that was left out or simply trampled on by this new director. I was thrilled to see Gary Oldman on screen. However, the interaction between all of the characters seemed forced. Potter purists may come from this new movie unfulfilled. I truly hope that a new director is chosen to bring the Goblet of Fire to the screen and give us what we have come to expect. I must say that the portrayal of Buckbeak was right on the money. I don't know if the screen writers were trying to avoid another three hour movie but I am sure I speak for thousands when I say, we would have gladly sat four hours or more for a chance to see a genuine portrayal of emotions and ties that were captured in the books.
