An unfortunate waste of time and money.

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2006)

Thus far this was the worst movie in the series. My family and I are staunch readers of the Potter series and were exceedingly disappointed in this movie. I can not understand why Chris Columbus stopped directing. He was true to the story and the elements which are necessary to the plot. I disagree with putting the Hogwarts students int to "muggle" clothing. It takes away from the feel of the movie. Dressing differently is part of the whole package. They are not meant to be like "us".
I found the acting improved. I think Emma Watson's acting has improved greatly, although a little over acted. Over all the actors were wonderful and did the best they could,considering what they had to work with. After this movie I believe I will stick to the books and forgo any more of the movies, unless Chris Columbus is directing.
