Advantages: Good Actors, Very Funny

Disadvantages: Not for some

Having received the book as a present as most people have, I decided that I should read the book to see what all the fuss was being made about. From the start I had totally lost all my interest that I had ever had in Harry Potter. Everyone said it was really good and it was not a Childs book. From what I had read that?s the only signal that this book was sending out to me

Basically I had put the book down and never touched Harry Potter again. What made it worse was the next book in the series became even larger and that totally put me off.

I went to the cinema with a bunch of my friends and we could only see Harry Potter or we would have to wait about another hour to see Bandits. Anyway we just went into see Harry Potter. From the start parts of the book began coming back to me and they were allot better on screen than I found they were in the book. The whole story was just allot better on screen than it was in the books

What you should know when going to see Harry Potter:

. 3 Hours long
. Don't be ashamed about going to see a "kids" movie, there is allot of adult humour in it
. If you like the book you will certainly like the movie
. MOST IMPORTANTLY, If you have not read the books like me you will love the movie

One thing I did not realise was how long this movie was and how the time flies when you are enjoying something. Despite the film being so long the film only seemed as long as a normal film when it was actually around 3 hours long.

Harry Potter the movie has totally changed the way I thought about the whole thing. I now feel more inclined to read the book (still not going to happen)

The actors in the film are great and so are the effects of the movie.

I don't know if it was just me but when I saw that kid on TV it just made me angry, when on screen though he is a great actor and the whole British cast adds to the British touch of the film

Whether
you have seen Harry Potter or not I recommend that you should go and see it. In my case I liked it more in the cinema than on paper. It is just something you need to see

Don?t be embarrassed about going to see this, find a friend who likes it. You might be surprised at what you think about Harry Potter.

Just See It
