Trailers outshone the film

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2001)

I had not read the books so did not have a clue as to what to expect but found the film overlong and dozed off during some of it. Found the Star Wars and Scooby Doo Trailers more interesting in their running time than the much hyped Movie. Loved Grint, Watson, Coltrane, Hurt, Rickman, Harris and Smith and the special effects. Film seem to go on forever and I dozed off a couple of times. Radcliffe left me cold as Harry. Hope the second film is more tight less kitchen sink scripted.
