Great Movie; true to the book in every way

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2001)

1) nearly perfect casting, Snape was Snape and Potter was Potter
2) great pacing, they tried to fit as much of the novel in as reasonable
3) magic was a matter of fact, not an excuse to use special effects
4) brilliant staging, it felt exactly like it was supposed to
5) true to the book, things were edited and collapsed but the story was not changed
