more emotional expressions

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2001)

I enjoyed this film, even if it could`nt fully match the warmth and humor of the book. Steven Kloves did a very fine job, and I am sure he did write much more dialogue to build up the Characters and the relationships, than we have heard within the movie. I am also sure this had to be left out for : a movie is "a story told in pictures", and the filmmakers had to make sure all spectacular plots with their special effects the audience would expect have to be in. My children would have had the patience to sit for another hour, so had I, and I hope the following movies take their time to transport more of the warmth and humour of the books to the screen. Harry, Ron, Hermiony,-the whole crew are fantastic and capable of all emotional expressions Chris Columbus would have to ask for within the story...! Nevertheless, the movie is well done and a great success- and it deserves it.
