Summary: Harry Potter really delivers!
Review: As a huge fan of the Harry Potter books, I was very reluctant to see the movie, as most movies based on books are terrible. I was surprised when I loved the movie! The cinematography is beautiful, the translation from book to movie is extremely well done, and the acting was fantastic. I was particularly trepidatious about the acting of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, who play Harry, Ron, and Hermione. But the acting of all three was admirable, and they had an amazing chemistry with eachother. And as a guilty pleasure, my favorite part of the movie was when Oliver Wood (gorgeous Scottish actor Sean Biggerstaff) taught Harry the rules of Quidditch. I would recommmend this movie to everyone, whether you have read the book or not. A warning: Don't expect every detail to be exactly like the book. It's not possible with a movie.

Summary: I loved it, and I'm not a kid
Review: I have never read any of the Harry Potter books, but I absolutely loved this movie. It was funny, the characters were all great and the costumes, makeup, and effects were awesome. I am 22 years old and I've seen it twice already. For anyone out there who thinks that Harry Potter was too aimed for kids, IT WAS, BUT IT WAS STILL GREAT!!! Go see Lord of the Rings if you want a grown-up fantasy movie. (...)

Summary: Harry Potter Movie
Review: If you read the books right before you saw the movie,like I did, it might be disappointing. My suggestion? See it again! You'll realize that this was the greatest movie EVER!!!!!!!

Summary: Such a dissapointment....
Review: You are so pyched that the Harry Potter Movie is coming out. Great, but did anyone mention to the director that it is supposed to be like the book. Sure he added a bit here and there, but for all you Harry Potter fans that like true to the books plots you're going to be sorely dissapointed. A book allows the possibility of so much creativity and imagination, but this movie cuts out those fantasies and replaces them with a slashing script and poor pyrtechnics. If you haven't read the books enjoy, but to everyone else hope the next one is better.

Summary: Good but a litle rushed.
Review: This is an excellent film, do not get me wrong...but there was a lot of rushing through elements in order to show as much as they could in as short a time as possible.
So much was left out and so much was crammed in that I felt not entirly satisfied. It felt like reading/seeing a Cliff's Notes version of the story. It might have been better if even more elements were left out to focus better on the introduction of the characters.
I know they talked about making some of the larger books as two parters but after this film I think they may need to think about doing it with all the books!
I would almost rather see a TV mini series of the books so they could do it all. Since they can do big budget TV shows I don't see why not.
I did like this film and I know they had a big weight on their shoulders. They did an admirable job, it just felt too rushed to me.
The next book may be easier since there will be no introductions neccesary except for Lockhart and the Weasley clan.
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for lots of extras on a DVD!!!

Summary: Great entertainment for children AND adults
Review: I was trying to avoid this movie, just mainly because of all the kiddie hype; yet a friend and I decided to check it out one day just to see what all the fuss was about; and I'm glad that I did--it was truly a great 2.5 hours of entertainment at the theatre. Definately check this movie out while it's on the big screen, this is what going to the movies is all about: a great visual treat interlaced with a riveting storyline that won't bore you to sleep. It's a great escape from today's technological society, to that of old time, ol'fashioned wizardry--the stuff fairy tales are made of. :-)

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Just sit back and enjoy the fun. In this film we live a year in the life of Harry Potter - and what a year it is! Full of fun and adventure and more importantly, Harry discovers the meaning of friendship and finds that he deserves better than the life his "family" wants for him. (...) You are sure to enjoy Harry's new friends Ron and Hermione too. They are great!

Summary: what else is there to say?
Review: (...)I hadn't read the books until 2 weeks ago when I finally decided I should see what the fuss was all about. I couldn't put them down!! I took my kids to see it this weekend and was in as much awe as they were! I don't remember when the last time I was so engrossed in a movie. Don't miss it!
