Like all the Harry Potter films this is excellent.
I always look forward to enjoying a good 2 hours of magic.
great to see Miss Jones from 'Rising Damp' on the screen again too!
First off, I haven't read the books so I can't tell you how closely it relates. However as a film its a worthy watch. The effects are good, the acting is solid and the cast are certainly the 'best of british'. My only complaint is that the script is quite poor in places and there are noticeable chunks of storyline missing - some of the edits leave a lot to be desired and even though I haven't read the book, I could tell that there was pretty large pieces of the storyline missing. It appears that the editor/producer/director believes that no-one will be watching this film unless they've read the book first. This did make it a little confusing (and somewhat annoying) in places but not enough to spoil the overall effect of the film. I still thoroughly enjoyed it. One last warning though, do not let young children watch this film unsupervised - its really quite disturbing near the end and I could certainly imagine younger children getting upset. Possibly one you'd want to watch first before letting your kids see it. A solid 8/10 for entertainment value alone.

The birds, including owls, falcons and hawks were emaciated and... Read more
