entertaining... but slightly disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2004)

I really like the Harry Potter series, and it was interesting to physically see all the characters that I've pictured in my mind. The effects were pretty good and the little jokes throughout the movie were great. I was disappointed about how they had some characters act. Hagrid wasnt as angry as he was in the book, people werent that afraid of Voldemort's name, Wood wasnt as obsessed with quidditch, Fred and George weren't as clever and sarcastic,and Dumbledore wasn't as energetic and strange as I thought he would be. They left out some key things from the book that might be important in later "years". However,I still quite enjoyed the movie and I'm very excited to see how the next few will be.
