Movie does book artisic justice

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2004)

I really enjoyed the feel of this movie. It does deviate from the books in many ways, but I felt the director captured that feeling you get when reading the book.
You can see the anger in Potter, and the delicate relationships that are evolving with Ron, Herm, and Harry. This is something that even the books struggle with, yet are well done in this movie. Also the seeing the guys just fooling around in there dorm with the candy really gave you a great impression of tower life.
All in All this move is a 10, and it captures the feelings allot more. You get a real sense of what Harry is going to have to endure in the next movies, and puts a good real world feel on everything, which makes the books more believable thus creating a much better movie. After all LotR's does the same thing, making you believe there could be a place like this somewhere...........
