A triumph of good over evil

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2002)

This movie was awesome, but to be deeply moved, one had to notice subtleties. I watched the movie after reading the book, and I found it very easy to see how badly Harry longed for his parents, and how he drew from that love to ultimately defeat Voldemort. My parents, who watched the movie with me had never read the book, however, and I don't even think they figured out that Harry's parents were dead until the middle of the movie.
The plot was amazing as it twisted and turned, causing the reader to suspect Snape of being evil when all along he wasn't such a bad person.
Through the demonstration of love conquering all, and the example that people aren't always bad though they may seem to be, the movie watcher comes away edified and inspired. What a fantastic thing!
