An Awesome Movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2001)

The movie was awesome!! But, of course, did I expect anything different?
There are some things that I kind of wished for, but I understand that they needed to cut back some because of time: 1) More of the Dursleys. 2) More of Harry's delight upon leaving the Dursleys. 3) More Snape!! 4) More Neville Longbottom. That is all. The part where Lily Potter is killed was interesting. Richard Harris was good as Dumbledore. Daniel Radcliffe seemed to have only three faces; not very big on the showing emotions part he is. Rupert Gint, who plays Ron, is wonderful, as is Hermione. But, like their characters, they will be overshadowed a bit by Daniel. The Quidditch game (pity there was only one) was one of the best parts. Another great scene was the chess scene.
The soundtrack by John Williams is great, although I felt that they used too much of it. Sometimes silence is golden in a scene, but that's just my opinion.
All in all, I highly recommend those to see it.
