I loved it

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2004)

The story is good (of course not identical to the book but then for me part of the fun is discussing how I would have included bits the director didn't), scenery is breathtaking, and the acting is excellent. I know people have said it is scarier than the previous two but to be honest I found the second film with the spiders and big snake scarier. The dementors really just looked like bits of torn material floating around. I took my 8 month old she spent the first half of the movie transfixed.
This film wasn't such a huge shift from the first two - but it did include some of the great humour from the books that I felt had been missing in the first two films. Michael Gambon did a great job as Dumbledore and I still wonder why Robbie Coltrane doesn't win awards for Hagrid.
I had a great time at the movies - it wasn't too taxing just great fun.
