I watched it with mixed emotions, realising it's impossible to fit all the detail of a 700+ page book into a 2 hour 15 minute (?) film...I still found it "wanting"...i mean to say, no Dobby? sirius in for only 30 seconds? No Dursley's?
Voldamort himself was pretty much as I'd pictured him, but i still found myself frustrated at all the missing links and threads...
Over to you guys...

My two youngest (10 & 14) went to see this Sunday evening and said it was brilliant. I've got the day off on Thursday (hurrah! ;D) so I'm gonna be a real Larry and go to the cinema on me own to watch it Thursday lunchtime!  Will report in after that. |

I've seen it , but having not read the book, I don't know what's missing. Doesn't the voice of Moaning Myrtle (Shirley Henderson) sound like Sharon Osbourne though? I'll be expecting her to throw eggs at the away team on the Quidditch! By the way, Shirley Henderson played Kate in the recent 'Shakespeare Re-Told' episode based on 'The Taming Of The Shrew'.

Went to see it today (with my daughter who had an inset day, took her shopping first and she cost me a bloody fortune, but I digress..........) I thought it was really good - yeah they did miss a lot of the book out, but I didn't feel it detracted in any way. I think it's possibly my fave HP film so far. I didn't like the 5th book too much, think it's deffo the weakest, so am hoping the 5th film will be more exciting and imaginative than the book! I loved this film  |

I went to see 'Mrs Henderson Presents', which is okay if you like Will Young singing thirties songs. In the queue were some girls who'd been to see 'Harry Potter...' and they gave it away about Rita Skeeter being a baddie in the book! By the way, has anyone seen 'Blessed' (Ben Elton's series about new parents)? Ardal O'Hanlon's character is called Gary Chandler! Roll on the Ben Elton musical based on Jadis songs :-)

Saw Harry Potter here in Dubai in the IMAX theatre...simply awesome sight & sound!! Oh...and the film wasn't bad either!! Much darker than the earlier films...but very good!  |
