Not too bad

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2004)

Maybe I am just a Potter purist, but part of me thinks the movie could have been a little better. Granted, it stuck to the main points of the book, but it moved a little fast for my taste and I was sad to see that they did not show the quidditch house cup scene. There were a few times where the movie strayed from the book, like the whole scene with Harry looking for Pettigrew in the corridor, but nothing really too major. I did enjoy the new music and look that this new director added to the films, and i thought that the acting was much better. I was also pleased with Thewlis' Portrayal of Lupin and Oldmans portrayal of Sirius. But I just think they took too much out. Granted the movie was already 2 1/2 hours long and they stuck to the main points, but there were some parts that I was looking forward to seeing and didn't. But, then again, I am a Potter purist. I give it a 9 out of 10.
