Excellent Special Effects, Perfect Casting

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2001)

All of the characters were cast perfectly, and the special effects were just as I had expected them to be.
The Great Hall at Hogwarts is fantastic, and you could actually imagine wanting to go back to the Gryfindor Common Room at the end of the day.
Alan Rickman as Prof Snape, an excellent piece of casting.
Even though all the way through the film you know what is going to happen next, you can't wait to see how this is portrayed in the film itself.
There are some scary bits (made me jump a few times).
All the way through, shivers are sent up and down your spine, just at how real it all looks. The musical score adds to the dramatic scenes.
Glad we saw the previews, because we can go and see it again next week when its officially released (have to see it again because I am sure we missed loads the first time round).
