Watched Harry Potter during this weekend at midnight. Wow, what a show!! I think that this is the best movie ever for the Harry Potter series. Cool CGI effects and great acting from the actors and actresses. And there was British humour!! At last! There were funny light-hearted moments, like the ferret scene which made me wanna laugh. The storyline is at times choppy and cut up, but understandable. However, those who haven't read the book yet maybe in the lost like in the maze...as a lot of stuff have been cut off e.g spew, action from Quidditch World Cup etc...
Some grips The ending is too fast paced. How come Dumbledore doesn't explain the reverse spell effect for the audience? Dumbledore. At first, when I watched the trailer, I thought Michael Gambon was protraying Dumbledore as a different person from the book, too feisty and always shouting "HARRY POTTER". But then when I watched the movie, Dumbledore was alright. A bit too feisty at times but toned down a little near the end. However, I missed Dumbledore's wisdom. The actor doesn't seem to be protraying Dumbledore as a wise wizard, instead as an out-dated wizard struggling to make sense of what is going to happened in the wizarding world.
Miranda Richardson protrayal as the Rita Skeeter was good. A pity she is not recurring her role again in her next HP movie.
The graveyard scene was one of my best. Ralph Fiennes was excellent in his protrayal of Lord Voldemort-creepy, scaring looky and at times snake-like. It will be great to look forward to the epic battle between Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore in the next movie.
Overall, great movie to watch. However, if you are a HP purist, then this movie may be disappointing as many side storylines were cut. So when you watch the movie, just watch it as it is and don't compare with the books.
