Very true to the book ....so far

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2001)

I sat in a multiplex theater....down near the front as all the higher seats were taken already. We went on Day 1 and had purchased our tickets online 2 weeks ahead. When we got there we found 4 theaters had the film and all 4 were sold out for the next 2 showings!
Well in this theater of about 200 young, younger and very young Potter fans.....there was not a sound. It was fascinating and mesmerizing. There were no crying babies, no popcorn fights, nothing but rapt attention.
The film is so true to the book that it's almost eerie. Every new scene you could see people pointing at the screen and nodding "yes!"

I had read the book, but my husband had not. He was able to follow the plot easily, but I believe he would have enjoyed it more if he had read it first.
Go ahead. See it. It's pretty darn good.
