I Fell In Love For The Second Time...

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2001)

Okay, it was not quite as good as the book was. Did anyone expect it to be? In books, we use our imaginations. Movies, the imaginations are given time off. For that alone, people forget that the movies that are based on books are only certain peoples imaginations instead of our own. But I digress...
The movie was utterly amazing. It had ended far too soon for me. From the beginning with Dumbledor and his amazing lighter (or is it non-lighter?) all the way to the large scale version of Wizard's Chess, this was done with such taste and was meant to please both the child and the adult. I myself went to see it with a 4 year old, a 5 year old, a 26 year old, a 45 year old, and a 75 year old. I was not alone in saying it was worth the crowds to get in. We all fell in love that day. As we did with the books years ago.
For anyone reading this that is upset because of the way Harry looked or that they forgot to put in something in the movie, please keep in mind that they made it closer to the book than any movie I have ever seen or heard of and that nothing is going to be exact. Also, the movie might have been about 9 hours if they did put everything in it. So look at it as what it was intended. A Movie. Not a book.
