Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GOOD BUT DOESN'T DO THE MOVIE JUSTICE
Review: I READ TOLKIENS SERIES IN HIGH SCHOOL SO IT STOOD TO REASON THAT I WOULD READ ROWLINGS SREIES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I LOVED THE BOOKS AND HAVE READ THEM TO MY KIDS SO THEY GET THE JIST OF THE STORY NOT JUST READ THE BOOK. MY DAUGHTER LIKES IT MY SON IS FASCINATED BY IT. I LIKED THE MOVIE BUT AS MOST MOVIES OF GOOD BOOKS TEND TO BE DOOMED FOR, IT DIDN'T QUIE STAND AND DELIVER. IT TOLD THE JIST OF THE STORY AND TRULY ALLOWED US TO SEE QUIDDITCH FOR WHAT IT REALLY WAS(I'D LOVE TO PLAY IF I WAS A KID)

A GREAT GAME, BUT IT FELL A LITTLE SHORT IN OTHER AREAS SUCH AS SHOWING THE REAL SPLENDOR OF HOGWARTS AND AND TRUE VILENESS OF VOLDEMORT. I THINK THE CONCEPTS OF HARRY'S SUFFERING AND VOLDOMORTS EVIL WEREN'T DEVELOPED ENOUGH. THESE SHOW THE SACRIFICE HARRY'S MOTHER REALLY MADE AND HOW LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
I THINK THIS IS WHAT MOST OF THE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY IS MISSING ABOUT THE WHOLE STORY.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HARRY POTTER A MUST SEE !
Review: THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE REALLY KEPT TO THE BOOK. IT WAS GREAT FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY AGES FROM 9 - 53. WE ALL ENJOYED IT AND THE SPECIAL EFFECT WERE ALSO VERY GOOD. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT HARRY POTTER MOVIE TO COME OUT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Magical World
Review: The magical world begins with Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a very good movie and if you haven't seen it, you should see it soon! Some parts are scary, but most of them are pretty good. With Hagrid as the gameskeeper at Hogwarts, it seems as no big animal can get in without Hagrid noticing it. Malfoy seems like a really big bully, but he really is a big scaredy cat! I really liked this movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry is Lennon is McCartney is Clark Kent
Review: Enjoy the magic.

Enjoy the art.

Art. Is. Magic.

If you take kids, hold their hands during the scary parts (snakes, dogs, trolls). And laugh to show it's OK.

Summary: Harry Potter, the pits...
Review: I fail to see what all the hoop de rah is all about. This film had me yawning from beginning to end. And I could hardly wait for it to end. Sure, it's true I'm not a kid anymore, but I can't imagine what the children see in it. As my husband put it (and HE actually enjoyed it), they certainly saved on lighting. The film is dark, literally, for the most part with a weak, standard formula type plot, although parts such as the lifesize chess game and the quidditch match added a breath of fresh air to a stale story fabricated for the most part on the genre-specific backdrops and props (i.e. stepping into the wizard's world with its associated paraphernalia). One older couple walked out in the middle of the movie. The couple we were with and I would've liked to have done the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Positively SMASHING!
Review: A magnifcent movie. I'd say more, but unfortunately, there aren't enough adjectives to say what I wish to say. Everyone did a good job in the movie, and nothing better can be expected. My personal favorite, was Snape (I'm formerly a Sirius Black fan). Rickman is a darling, and he was PERFECT in his part.The movie followed the book as well as it could. Some critics say the movie takes on a "list-like feeling", but I don't see that happening (not in the 4 times I've gone). Even if the movie is as they say, they would probably complain if the movie was too far off the book, saying it was crazy and out in left field.A job well done!

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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!!!!!!!
