A true representation of the book but perhaps a little too hyped??

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2001)

I have read the book and loved it. I wanted to so badly to say the same about the movie, unfortunately this was not the case. I was seriously disappointed. The film does stick very closely to the book and perhaps this is where it is flawed. Good books do not always make good screen plays ! The film was enjoyable but unfortunately too long and in parts boring. There are bits in which need not be there and likewise parts are missed which would have worked (where was Rik Mayall playing Peeves??!). If you are a Harry Potter fan already you will enjoy this, if you haven't read the book you might wonder what all the fuss is about!
It is worth going to see this film but please, don't expect it to the best film you have ever seen in your life ! As for marks out of ten.........6 is being generous !
