I was disappointed but some points were o.k.....

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2001)

Well, last Friday (Nov. 16),like millions of others, I went to go see the Harry Potter Movie. I was disappointed but it had its o.k. points...
It went by so fast it was like looking through a picture book of the movie, scene after scene after scene, but no real connection. I found they really messed up the ending, and some of the characters in the book aren't even there! It doesn't really give you the feeling that they're in Hogwarts, there's hardly any classes, a real lack of school atmosphere. They get lost in all the wrong times and places and some of the scenes really don't make sense. I know originally it was 4 hours long and they had to cut it down a lot, but I would have watched it for 7 hours if it would have made a better movie.
It wasn't all bad though. Quidditch was absolutely AMAZING! The invisibility cloak looks really real, oh and speaking of real! Fluffy was incredible! Loved the slober...
Some of the actors were really good too. Ron and Hagrid were the best though. Rupert Grint and Robbie Coltrane really outdid themselves. Oh and Snape was great too (really evil). Daniel Radcliff (Harry Potter) on the other hand, didn't seem to have the expression that Harry has in the book.

Well, all in all, I'd give it half marks. 5/10 or **1/2 on *****, whichever way you want me to rate it.
Thanx for your time!
