Rating: 4.0
for better or for worse a good movie
Ok the movie was not perfect but it was very good & I enjoyed it emensly. Saw it in the theater twice & will be getting it this week on DVD.The charictors skipped were not all that important. Not even the house elves. The Yule ball illistrates that while our main 3 can face dark wizard the oppisit sex is another and much more frightening thing altogether. It has just enough comedy to keep it from being a dark film. and it keeps to the story fairly well.The one thing I'd have put more time into is at the tournament the first apearence of the dark mark in the sky. The fact that Harry's dropped wand was used to put it there & the significance of it. Anyone who hasn't read the book would be totally confused by that. It also served in the book to illistrate that the ministry of magic goes steeply downhill for the rest of the series from there on. So I would've extended the movie by about 1/2 hour to thoroughly explain the dark mark. It really is pertnant to the story. otherwise highly enjoyable.
