Harry seems to grow up right before your eyes!

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2001)

I saw this film with my 6 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it very much. We didn't really realize the length of the film until we left the theater. My daughter didn't get antsy at all! I thought it was paced well and not too violent or frightening. All the acting was okay, the veterans of course were excellent along with the child actor playing Ron Weasley. My main complaint was with the continuity of the film. I suppose it is very difficult to film a movie with child actors as they must grow like weeds throughout the production. This particular movie was obviously filmed in non-sequential order as Harry ages throughout but not so in a continuous manner. He's young, He's old, oops he's young again!
Other than that issue, I thought the film was enjoyable and very imaginative. I'm sure it was a disappointment to many adults and children who had read the book however considering Hollywood's past track record people should know what to expect!
