I have seen all 4 Harry Potter movies, and this is by far the best one. Harry Potter 1, 2, and 4 were like paint by numbers, but Harry Potter 3 is a living, breathing movie. It is awesome.

Great movie!! Definitely a movie to see more than once because you catch things you missed the first time. Looking forward to the next one...

Alfonso Cuarón made this movie a little to dark and mean. Don't get me wrong it's a good movie. It could've been better.

This third movie was enjoyable, better in some ways than the second. It lacks in the use of magic by Harry Potter but it's better made than the Chamber of Secrets. The young lady who wrote the book gave an interview a few months ago and she said that the #2 film was fine, lacking a bit of the story line but fine. Shame that she thought it ok. :(

Definitely an entertaining show, with a group of great children actors, groovy special effects, comedy, and action. However one thing that has always brought all of the potter movies down a notch, is the lack of magic. Here we have Harry Potter whom is supposed to be a great wizard, yet he hardly touches his magic wand. After three years of wizard school he should be more advanced and confident. It will be interesting to see where the careers of these children go, because all three of them have a talent!!

Another movie I stayed up late to watch to the end because I just wanted to get it over with. The first thing I noticed was that the characters don't look 13 years old as the headmaster says they are. They all look closer to 18. Other than that, the movie was all over the place, incorporating various things from other movies and mixing things up. There was no real mystery involved like #2. I hate to say, pun intended, there was no real magic in this movie like #2 or like #1.

I was so looking forward to this movie as the book is my favorite of them all so far and it just didn't deliver. I think Chris Columbus could have done a much better job of directing and bringing out the darkness of this one as well as the more lighter aspects of the story. Fred & Charlie were barely in the movie and they played pivotal roles in the book. Worth renting of course and I've added it to my collection but I'm looking forward to the Goblet of Fire and Chris Columbus being back at the helm.

If you hadn't read the book, you would never follow the movie. If you read the book, the movie didn't follow the book. Unless you are really a Potter fan skip this one.
