Harry Potter is okay.

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2008)

In Harry Potter, the main character Harry, is orphaned when his mother and father were supposedly killed in a car accident so he is forced o go live with his aunt and uncle, The Dursleys. Since his aunt and uncle are muggles, normal people, they don't tell him that he is a wizard, because they just want him to be a "normal" person. He is soon rescued from his aunt and uncle by Hagrid who is a wizard back at Hogwarts. Harry then learns about his past and is introduced into the world of witches and warlocks.
I liked to movie of Harry Potter a lot more than the book, because in the book they had a lot off unnecessary scenes that they could've done without. I like how in the movie they keep the movie going by not prolonging any of the scenes and making you wait to see what's going to happen. I think that overall in the movie the acting done by the characters was really good. They each played their part well and had the emotion that was needed for each scene to have an effect on the movie and keep it flowing. In the book, Rowling has a brief part where she talks about how Harry's life was growing up and his childhood, but in the movie it wasn't shown at all so that was one part that I think that the directors should've shown. The special effects in my opinion, were really really good because even though you knew that it couldn't be real, it still made you believe that it was. To me, the script writers did a good job in portraying the book without taking out too much or adding unnecessary information.
