| Posted by: Benny at December 1, 2001, 9:44 am | | Topic: Reviews: Harry Potter Forum: JoBlo | | On Nov. 21st, five days after it came out, I became the last person on earth to see Harry Potter in the theaters. Well not really, but to my surprise, it was actually quite good! The directors/writers stayed true to the book and the all-star British cast was excellent. I especially enjoyed the actors who played Snape, McGonagall, Dumbeldore, Draco Malfoy, and of course Harry. Everyone knows the story. It's about this reject kid named Harry Potter who has an awful life living with his aunt and uncle and annoying fat brother. But on his 11th birthday finds out he's a famous wizard and gets to go this awesome wizard school called Hogwarts, which is where his deceased parents also went. There he is world-famous, and he meets new friends and enemies, and mayhem prevails for most of his first year. The transition from book to movie was very good but then again, the movie wasn't nearly as good as the book, which is always the case. Even though it was 2 1/2 hours long, a lot of scenes and characters from the book were missing. And it seemed like they skipped right from Christimas break to June and didn't include anything in between. And of course, this is a Chris Columbus movie, so of course he just had to squeeze out some sentimentality in the ending. Still I found the movie to be quite fun and entertaining, just like the books (by the way I have all 4 books and can't wait for book 5!). And my favorite scene had to be the Quidditch match, which was realy fun to watch. If you are a fan of the books, then you will most definitely enjoy this movie. If you didn't like the books or haven't read them, you may not like it though. 7/10 |
