Read the book ... love the movie!

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2001)

I was ready to be disappointed because I thought the imagery in the book was so great that I doubted it could be reproduced on the screen. But I was wrong! I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the movie and was just so impressed with what I saw. The Quidditch competition was wonderful! The moving staircases... the wizard chess game ... just fabulous!
The only problem I guess is that I have heard that people who did not read the book did not enjoy the movie hardly at all. I am not really sure why. It was practically the whole book word for word, so I don't think there was any information lost. So far I've attributed it to the fact that they just aren't the type to enjoy that genre of movies ... but I'm not sure.
