Completely butchered the book, but...

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2004)

Now the movie in general is good, but if you are a faithful Harry Potter fan there were a number of changes, and not for the better. Completely new sequences were put into the movie that were not in the book, and some scenes that didn't need to be shortened were. As i said before watching it from a different perspective (as in someone who's only read harry potter a couple times) it is a good movie with spectacular special effects and undeniable humor (yay ron!) but i also think some of the casting is shotty. Some of the people (ahem, lupin & sirius) were not as i pictured them, but i suppose some people will not agree. I cant wait for the fourth movie and i really cant wait for the 6th book. I'm shaking with anticipation.
