Enchanting and true to the book in most details.

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2001)

I went to the film with my adult daughter and her friend this past weekend. I have been disappointed often by going to a movie based on a book but this film was not disappointing in any way except it was to short. I think the few minor changes were well done (the snake is from Brazil in the book and Burma in the film) and the story was related well. I loved the Quidich match, forgot that it is imaginary half way through. I thought the casting was stupendos. The actors were well chosen and knew their characters very well. I loved the stern almost frightening Snape and thought his concern that Potter not be coddled or made much of very true to what I expected. I can't wait for the next book and the next movie to. I am going to go again this weekend.
