Thanks for such a wonderful film!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2001)

I've never read any of the books, but knew that this film appealed to my tastes. Often I'm worried that a film will not live up to its expectations, and the bar was set rather high for this film. I'm glad to be able to report that this movie has earned its current status and any awards it might receive. The character development went along rather well, and the details shown in the movie were a beauty to behold. The length of the movie might prove to lose the interests of the very young, but all the adolescents in the theater with me were deeply involved in the movie - another great thing to see! I've rated this movie a perfect 10, eagerly await the next film, and can't wait til I get my hands on one of the novels! Thanks for such a wonderful film!

I've since seen all the movies to date as well as read the 6 books that are out so far and have my name with the local bookshop for the 7th when it comes in. I'm eagerly anticipating the next movie and the final book's release shortly, and am at the same time wondering what will happen of Harry and the whole "wizarding community" after the 7th book hits shelves - what are we going to do without them?
