this movie is what hooked me

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2006)

imagine this, a college student babysitting one night and forced to watch Harry potter. Ohhhh, I groan b/c of what I am expecting. I take my first chance to leave the room when the autistic child I am primarily there for calls me. I never even get to the opening scene. well unfortunately I am forced back out of his room when he falls asleep leaving me now no excuse to not go into the living room to torture myself to sleep watching this awful movie. I think to myself, the bathroom? No dice, the children offer to pause the movie for me. UHhh, alright, I will watch what is left. Maybe 40 minutes, I tell myself as I sit down. "What is happening?", "Shhhhhh!" they tell me. "who is that?" I ask. I get a finger telling me to wait a minute. "wait, rewind it a second, did that just happen?" "ARRRRRRRR" the kids yell "watch it on your own time let us finish it!" they yell. and sure enough I did. Since then I have read the books ( took me like 4 days to read the two books that where out then) and have been hooked on the books since. I loved the second movie but compared to the books, the 3rd and 4th movies where flops. this movie was the bait and will always be loved. It follows the book pretty closely and the director did a great job with everything.
