Harry Potter and the Disappointment of Fans

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2004)

One thing I will say right off the bat is that Alfonso Cuaron was a terrible choice of directing. His infamous Yu Mama Tambien and A Little Princess hardly made the mark, but his adaption of HP missed it completely. J.K. Rowling said that she would make sure the movies followed the books, so I wonder why she wasn't paying attention. I love Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Maggie Smith, and Emma Thompson, but they definitely could have been given better material than what they received. The kids show a mediocre talent which matches the movie to a T. HP and the POA is not a movie for Harry Potter fans, hands down. I'm sorry, but I did not like this adaption ***TWO THUMBS DOWN***
