    Not as good as the book. Many interesting details missing, and some of the scenes just weren t as magical as imagined. Worst of all, the ending scenes just didn t compare to the book.

    Wow! talk about being overrated! i was so excited to see this movie, and granted all the special effects were good and the story was pretty close to the books. but it lacked the imagination and appeal that is known to be harry potter! The movie is getting way too much hype than it deserves, and i would say to save your 12 dollars, and wait for a pretty good dvd!

    i think the movie was good .. Loved how imaginative the story was and how detailed the plot of each scene was created to be .. excellent !the length of the movie allows the audience to get some background info on the main character I and can t wait until the next one comes out :)
