    Overall, the movie was very well done. Of course, there were parts that had to be deleted or shifte, but the effect of the book was not lost. If you have not read the book, you will probably enjoy the movie. If you have read that book, you may be a bit disappointed that not everything is in the movie. See it on a Tuesday if you aren t too sure!

    it was a good movie, i like the books better though! they cut out alot of parts from the book, but if they added everything in it would ve been 5 hours long! so over all it was a REALLy good movie

    Harry Potter was fantastic. It was too bad they cut out some of the jokes, such as Lee Jordan s highly amusing commentary at the Quidditch game, and all of Fred and George s pranks. Also, there wasn t nearly enough Quidditch games, and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw should have been mentioned more. But all in all, it was well done, staying fairly close to the story, with absolutely amazing graphics. It s definetely worth seeing.
