Pros: Setting, special effects. Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Maggie Smith. Quidditch! Cons:Must John Williams score these films??
I'll admit it right here, Harry Potter is my guilty pleasure. I've read all four of the books, happily spent my time guffawing over scenes, and wondered what it would look like on film. Gleefully raking in the bucks, this one turned into a hit...
Pros: Wonderful, captivating movie. Stays true to the book Cons: Some things from the book don't make it into the movie
I had heard about the Harry Potter books for a long time. I checked the books out several different times and thought they sounded really good, but for some reason I didn't get them. I would read the back and think how interesting and good they ...
Pros: Great acting from the kids and adults... Cons: Some unavoidable pacing problems in a year-long movie
This will be a very biased review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Perhaps you've heard of it. It's all about an eleven-year old orphaned boy growing up in Roald Dahlesque misery, who finds an escape when he's told he, like his dead parents,...
Pros: A mystical, enchanting film that will touch even the hardest hearts. Cons: Might be too frightening for small children, some scenes too loud.
Time seemed to have stood still in my household over the past few days. No matter what we did, it seemed like 1:15 pm, November 16th would never arrive. Why 1:15pm? Why November 16th? It was the exact time and date of when we would be embarking on...
Pros: Good story, lessons, performances Cons: Long and similar in story line to "Star Wars"
I confess. The film version of “Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone” is my introduction to the world of Harry Potter. The story reminds me of the “Star Wars” series, particularly of “The Phantom Menace.” Harry and his two young friends and classmates,...
Pros: Cast; visuals; whimsical and magical tone; faithfulness to the story Cons: A bit long; special effects (especially the centaur) can look clunky
Let's get this out of the way upfront: I love the Harry Potter books. When you fall in love with literature first, especially literature of the wonderful, witty and ultimately deep kind that J.K. Rowling has given the world in the Harry Potter ...
Pros: No deviation from the book and little is left out of the story.
Cons: I can’t enroll at Hogwarts next semester.
Six Harry Potter fans went to see the movie on opening day. Our group consisted of four women and two men, all at least middle age, all but two have read the first book (or more). All of us loved the movie and the two who hadn’t read the book agreed...
Pros: very true to the book, well acted, stunning quidditch match Cons: a few minor omissions from the book, Harris as Dumbledore
I was a bit late catching Harry Potter fever. In fact, if you want to be precise, I didn't actually catch it until this past Thursday, Thanksgiving, when I saw the movie.
Oh sure, I'd read the books. I'd even enjoyed them. But I really didn't...
Pros: Snape, score, the look of the film Cons: poor pacing and characterization, underused actors
Back in the fall of 2001, once I had recovered enough from 9/11 to think about other things again, my mind was occupied largely with one topic: the upcoming first installment of the Lord
of the Rings trilogy, as ...
Pros: Getting to see the book's characters come to life. Cons: Every child who loved the books will notice parts that are missing.
My family are BIG Harry Potter fans! We started reading the first book on a LONG road trip to visit grandparents. The fact that by reading this book, all five children were not only listening, but eager to hear more, sold me! Everyone...
Pros: everything about it, it's just a wonderful movie with a wonderful storyline Cons: none
First and foremost, I’d like to think Jeremy1456 for inviting me to this “Epic Adventure W/O” where you can write about anything that’s “epic” in some way. Whether it be a video game such as Eternal Darkness, a movie like...
Pros: Mostly true to book, Wonderful eye candy Cons: Movies based on excellent novels have a difficult act to follow.
I have a confession to make. I, like zillions of other people, am crazy for Harry Potter. I just can't help it. My little Muggle mind is so enchanted with tales of the far away school of wizardry. So, when my husband told me that we were going on a...
Pros: Special effects bring a fun story to life Cons: Slow near beginning, under used characters
Believe it or not, this movie was my introduction to Harry's world. When I saw it, I was captivated by the imagination that had obviously gone into creating the initial story and this film version. Now that I'm finally reading the books, I'm taking a ...
Pros: Original plot twists in places. Cons: Unoriginal plot themes in places.
The first time I went to see this movie I fell asleep 20 minutes into it and woke up at the ending credits. Oh Wow. Now I know what you're thinking: "Ed, That's like going to see Shakespeares's ROMEO AND JULIET or MACBETH the first time it is ever...
An orphaned child that has spent the first ten years of his life living under the stairs of his Aunt and Uncle's house, is invited to join the Hogwart...More at HotMovieSale.com
