More What You Said

 



What did you think about the Harry Potter movie?

I think the Harry Potter movie was great but they missed out some of the best bits. Some of the scenes were not how I imagined it. Mc Gonagal, Hagrid, Hermione and Ron were perfect. The books were much better because you can imagine it yourself. A movie can never be better than a book.

* * * * * *

The movie was good, but I like the book more. The movie went too fast, and it didn't have as much detail (as if any movie could). I guess I do recommend it to people, but you would be more satisfied if you haven't read it, than if you were a huge fan.

* * * * * *

I SAW IT YESTERDAY AND I  THOUGHT IT WAS COOL BECAUSE MOST MOVIES THAT ARE BASED ON A BOOK ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE BOOK BUT THIS ONE WASN'T IT WAS JUST LIKE IT. PLUS I HOPE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE FOR ALL OF THE BOOKS BECAUSE THIS ONE WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

I absolutely loved the Harry Potter movie!  Every aspect was just how I imagined it would be.  The casting was perfect.  Emma Watson was just adorable as Hermione, Daniel Radcliffe's mannerisms were just as I thought Harry's should be, and Rupert Grint was a hilarious Ron!  The forbidden forest was even more spooky than I had imagined!  The Mirror of Erised scene was exceptional.  (I'll admit, I did cry when Harry saw his parents.)  The Quidditch scene made me forget I was sitting in the movie theater!  I thought i was in the stands, watching an actual Quidditch match! The final chess scene somehow kept me in suspense, even though I knew what the outcome would be, and the end was so satisfying! (Besides the fact that I'm waiting on pins and needles for the next 6 movies.) Overall, the movie was spectacular and I want to see it again and again.  I am so glad Rowling let Warner Brothers make the movie and Chris Columbus is to be commended for a superior jo

P.S. Here is a story with a happy ending:
My mother had never read the Harry Potter books before but she didn't want my little sisters (or even me, for that matter) reading them because of the words "witch" and "wizard" and "goblin"...etc.  I somehow convinced her to go see the movie and she said she "thoroughly enjoyed it."  My sisters are finally allowed to read Harry Potter. =)

* * * * * *

I think the Harry Potter movie was amazing. It was just how I imagined it. It was better than what I expected. The Qudditch and chessboard scenes were brilliant. Everyone's  acting was brilliant, especially Emma Watson, Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane. They missed out quite a lot of scenes. I wish it was longer. It was a great movie.  

* * * * * *

* * * * * *

                 My Answer!!!!!!!!

I loved it. The first thing I said was when this comes out on tape ,I`m getting it for sure.My aunt noticed that they left out  some stuff.my thing is to say to kids is   DON`T READ THE BOOK FIRST!!!!!  The Thing is that I  Think is that you will like it more couse you  don`t know what  is next .

* * * * * *

good

* * * * * *

I THOUGHT THAT THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

   I        LOVED   IT

* * * * * *

I think that the movie was overall good but they left way to many scenes out and changed way to many things...Such as:

1.  Dumbledore sent Norbert away instead of Harry and Hermione
2.  Wood was pulled out of Defense Against the Dark Arts and not Charms
3.  They didn't show how much Harry and Draco hated each other.
4.  They didn't show all the bad things and all the points Snape took away from Harry.
5.  they left out the potions chamber.
6.  They left out the chamber where the troll is lying on the floor knocked out.
7.  They didn't give Professor Mcgonagall, Dumbledore, Draco, Harry, Snape, the Weasley twins, Crabbe, and Goyle enough character.
8.  They didn't show all the jokes that the Weasley's played on people.  And they didn't show their sense of humor.
9.  They forgot Dudley's friend that went with him to the zoo.
10.  They forgot the part where Professor McGonagall dropped all her books when Harry told her about the Sorcerer's Stone.
11.  And they forgot the Quidditch Cup and the other Quidditch match!!
12.  Harry's eyes weren't green.
13.  They let Harry pick out his owl instead of letting Hagrid do it.
14.  This list could go on and on and on!!!!!!!!

The good things:

1.  Voldemort
2.  Quidditch match
3.  Sorcerer's Stone
4.  Troll
5.  Dudley
6.  Hogwarts
7.  Harry's Cubpard
8.   And a few other things!

* * * * * *

it was cool

* * * * * *

Hi Booker T Worm.The  aspect [which means thing] i liked about the Harry Potter movie was when  harry went in the girls bath room and fought the troll.that was grose when he put his wand up the trolls nose ,because he had troll snot all over his wand. It was a great movie,and it was just how i thought it was going to be .                              

* * * * * *

The movie was just as good as the book was!! Not  a lot of things changed. Although I did picture Harry Potter with brown eyes instead of blonde that threw me off course.

* * * * * *

Harry Potter is a very bad movie I think because it has witches in it and
stuff that God doesn't like.

* * * * * *

Harry Potter was a pretty great movie. There were just two things that could
have been a little better. One was that it was a little to log to sit
through. I think it was like two and a half hours. Also I realy didn't have a
middle. They were at the Cristmas feast, and 20 minutes later they were going
through the trap door under Fluffy. Besides that, Harry Potter was a great
moie.

* * * * * *

I looooovvvvveeeeeddddd it, it was cool and scary!

* * * * * *

I thought the movie was great it was one of the best movies I have ever seen it had awesome special effects in it. It was great that they followed what was in the book because you understand the movie better. I will definitely go see this movie again when the lines die down for it.

* * * * * *

The Movie is awesome!!!

* * * * * *

I LIKED IT. COOL GRAPHICS ON THE QUIDDITCH FIELD. THEY SKIPPED SOME
PARTS THOUGH. I STILL LIKED IT.

* * * * * *

it was the same as i supected!and even better.but not a better than the book,oh no the book was ever so every wonderful!

* * * * * *

I thoughtit was fantastic. I loved it.

* * * * * *

i was good

* * * * * *

i think it was fab!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

It was tottly COOL!!!
I loved it and if you can tell Harry Potter "YOU RULE MAN!!!!!"

* * * * * *

i didn`t see it is it ok

* * * * * *

Harry Potter was great.But are they really going to make the second movie?

* * * * * *

I loved it! It was the BEST  MOVIE EVER! It was so good that i want 2 c it again and agian!

* * * * * *

HARRY POTTER IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

I thought it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

I loved the movie!!!!

* * * * * *

I thought a that the book was way better than the movie and even if you saw the movie and didn't read the book that you should still read it.I liked the movie it was really good but movies can't go where books can.

* * * * * *

Harry Potter is a very bad movie because of all the witches that are in it
and Because God doen't like that

* * * * * *

I loved it ewen though they omit a little.  I still think the book was better but the movie came in as a close second.  My favorite part was when they played Quidditch against Slytherin!! It was great!!!!!

* * * * * *

I thought it was great! At the end when Harry was leaving Hogwarts my mom
started crying from the picture in the photo album. But i didnt cry. Even
though there was alot of touching parts in the movie. I CANT wait to see the
next movie!!!!!!

* * * * * *

havent seen it yet but i am going to see it monday i bet ti will be good though

* * * * * *

I didn't see the movie yet but I'm going tonight and it looks really really good. i hear they took out the potions part when they are in the dungeon thing and some people were mad about that. o well it looks really good and I really want to see Richard harris and Dan Radcliffe!!!! =)

* * * * * *

i think the movie was really good and really funny and reall really long

* * * * * *

i haven't seen it yet but I don't think I want to see it. I don't think the movie will  be very good but I do like the book!!!!! Thanks Booker T.

* * * * * *

i think the h>p movie was o>k>  they left too much stuff out of the book>  wizerds chess was cool

* * * * * *

Overall, I liked the Harry Potter movie very much.  I mean, they left out some parts that I wanted to see (such as Peeves, Hermoine and the logic puzzle with the Potions after the chess scene, etc.) but I understand that not everything could go into the movie that was in the book.    Also, although no one could have done a better job portraying Quidditch, Fluffy, and the troll, I think things like those were much better off in the imagination.  But hats off to the actors and the directors!  They did an overall great job.     

* * * * * *

I thought that the harry Potter movie was SOOOO awesome! I thought that Chris
Columbus(the director) did a great job of staying so true to the book. I
think the quidditch part was the best, because it looked so real.

* * * * * *

I saw the moive on  11/17/01  I loved it so much. that I whant to go and see
it agin with my best friend Scott Bliefnizk. I thank all kid my age and all
ages should see it.

* * * * * *

The movie was pretty good.  I wasn't happy that they cut alot of the stuff that was in the book out of the movie.  The movie was a little jumpy from scene to scene and you would have had to read the book in order to understand alot of it.  But overall it was pretty good.  The special effects were great.

* * * * * *

Our school went ot go see the movie and I thought it was really good.  My favorite part was the scene where all the letters were zooming in the Dursley house.  The movie theatre made air to swish around in the room when that scene came up and it seemed liked you were in the dursely house with the letter zooming across your face and the sound was great that made you feel like you were there also.

* * * * * *

  I think the Harry Potter Movie is reeeallllly cool from the clips I have seen and heard on t.v. , radio, and a comercial I saw in the theatre...
  But they're are suppose to be some parts not shown from the book in the movie and I just got this HP (harry potter) Chapter game ( diagon alley ) and my best friend is starting to like Harry Potter just because of the merchandise!!
P.S. I have read the canadian Harry Potter books 5 times each + the text books and I am starting to read the 1st u.s. version...
* * *
I thought that the movie was totally awesome!  The characters were great and so was the plot.  I really liked how much of the story they managed to fit in the movie without making the movie too long.  If I had to rate it form 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I would give it a 9 and 3 fourths of a point out of 10.  It was great!

* * * * * *

Some of us in Australia have not seen the movie yet it comes ouyt on the 29 of november, but i have seen the previews and i think it looks absolutely fablous to tell you the true. My favourite so far is harry, ron ,hermoine, and the one and only hagrid i absolutely love hedwig she is sooooooooo cute
Thankz for the great newsletter see more soon

* * * * * *

i really loved the movie... but i didnt like how they left a lot of the parts out. i know the movie would have been like 5 hours long if they left all the parts in there but it still made me mad. i didnt like how they left out Peeves. he was sooo cool. i dont think they introduced the characters enough to us. like if i hadnt read the books i wpuldnt have known that the Weasley twins were always playing tricks on people and getting into trouble because they didnt mention any of that. i didnt really give us the characters personalities very well. AND.... i didnt like how they sometimes switched things up, like in the book when Profesor goes to got Oliver Wood she goes to Flitwick's class not Quirrell's class, and when they see the 3-headed dog it's at night not during the day.BUT...overall it was still a good movie.

* * * * * *

I thought the movie was GREAT. It really went along with the movie. I wasn't really disappointed. The only that bothered me was Harry's eyes. They were blue when Harry's eyes are green. In about two scenes Harry's are green, but that's all right.
I really enjoyed the Quidditch match part. That was AWESOME. I can't wait until I see the second movie.

* * * * * *

I thought it was the best movie of the year! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

* * * * * *

It was soooooooooooooooooooo cool! I think it was even better than the book. But adults are saying that they shouldnt have made a movie cuz that whould make less people read the books and that the movie is soooo different than the book. Gesh! What big cry babies! cant for once grown ups accually like something with out complaining? Well i went with my mom and she loved it. I whould defenetly buy the movie. AND im gonna re-read the books so i can remeber all of the plots again.

* * * * * *

I want to see it a bajillion more times than I have

* * * * * *

thought it was stupid!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

really wierd.

* * * * * *

it was awesome

* * * * * *

To be critical, some parts were easy to forget, like Baby Norbert. I wish they had more Quidditch games, but it was really neat to see some things that I pictured differently in the book. I would definitly see it again!

* * * * * *

I think the Harry Potter movie was really excellent... I was just a little disappointed about the end how the left out the potion part that Hermione has to figure out.

* * * * * *

I thought the Harry Potter movie was fabulous! It resemble the book greatly. I thought it had great special effects and the casting was perfect. I think J.K. Rowling's decision to have the the whole cast be British was awesome, then it could be just what the book was like. Over all I would give the movie two thumbs up and a smile to go along with it.

* * * * * *

I haven't seen the movie yet but my friends went to it and they tell me the qudditch was the best special effects they ever seen! so I completely changed my room with Harry potter stuff

* * * * * *

I thought the movie was cool, but the book was way better.I liked the neat special effects. I can't wait 'till the 2nd movie comes out! Did you know they started filming the 2nd movie right when the 1st came out? Talk about fast! If you agree with me: the next time they ask a question, go on there and type: HP-I agree with you!   Bye

* * * * * *

I thought the Harry Potter movie was FANTASTIC.

It was a bit scary when Voldemort came up.  I liked it when Harry was on his broomstick.  When my dad was reading the first Harry Potter book to me I was kind of sitting on his back and pretending he was my broomstick!

* * * * * *

What I liked about the Harry Potter Movie was when the stair cases started to move and also when Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting on the edge of the trapdoor to the philosopher's stone and Fluffy dribbled on Ron's robes.

* * * * * *

Dear Kidsreads.com - News Letter,
   The Harry Potter movie was excellent! I would love to see it over and over again. The parts in the movie were exactly like the book, even though they cut out many unimportant scenes. But that's ok it was still very enjoyable. I look forward into reading all the books and I hope more movies of Harry Potter will be in theaters soon.

* * * * * *

I want to see the HP movie. I hope that it is good I heard that Quirell's face turns green when Harry touches it though.

* * * * * *

I thought it was realy good exept the left out        alot       of things that would have been good like how they got rid of Hagrid's dragon. In the book it said they[Ron,Harry,and Hermione] took the dragon to the highest tower and let them  take the dragon away, but in the movie  Hagrid said Dumbbledor sold him to some people!   

* * * * * *

I thought the movie was a lot like the book, but the movis made you see things a little differntly. I for one thought the twins Fred and George would look different. I also noticed that in the Harry Potter seiers the person who announces during Quidch was a boy named Jorden, however in the movie it was a girl. I really liked the movie, but I enjoyed imagaing things my own way a little better.

* * * * * *

I saw the Harry Potter yesterday (friday) and I thought it was fantastic.  I enjoyed that everything was like how I imagined it.  Yet I believe that the director should have not cut out so many important things such as the practices for quidditch, classes, etc.

* * * * * *

I think it was well done. I loved the special effects. My favorite part was the part when they play quttich.

* * * * * *

i think it was great and nice and ill like to see the other movies of harry potter in the other books and i cant wait  until the movie harry potter and the chambers come out

* * * * * *

I loved it! Bookworm, Do you know what book it's mostly based on?

* * * * * *

It was very good but a little scary.

* * * * * *

I think that the Harry Potter movie is really cool.My favorite part was when he did magic and went he went to Hogwarts school and he flew on a broom.

* * * * * *

I thought it was cool dude

* * * * * *

Evan though I didn't see the movie, or ever will see the movie, I think Harrry Potter sucks.   I never thought he would be a good role model for kids around the U.S.  But of coarse I never read fantsy stories. I could never get into them. There was too much plot for me to keep track of.  But I still think Harry Potter stinks!!

* * * * * *

THE MOVIE WAS GREAT I SAW IT YESTERDAY.

* * * * * *

I thought that  the book was much better because in the movie, there is  much less
information  then in the book! They also skipped some parts.

* * * * * *

I THINK IT WAS AWSOME!!!

* * * * * *

I think it was great, but Harry Potter didn't do that much magic. The parts I liked the best were when Harry Potter was the only one in the group that made the broom to come up to his hand on the first try. The other part that I liked best was when he was protecting the Sorcerer's Stone. Thank you for your time.

* * * * * *

I PERSONALY THOUGH THE MOVIE WAS VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

I am a real Harry potter fan but I am very dissapointed in the movie. The movie was just seen after seen. For example: They didn't show Harry getting to his classes they just showed him in the classes, one minute he's with snape the next minute he's with Quirrel.
The movie was not very fluent. I did however like the movie a lot. I just would have enjoyed it better if it was more fluent. I loved the special affects, it was great! I can't wait for the 2nd movie!

* * * * * *

It was the BEST    movie I ever saw!!!!!

* * * * * *

i loved it

* * * * * *

It was really cool! My favorite part was at the end where Harry saw Voldemort! It wasn't as good as the book but it was an awesome movie!

* * * * * *

The Harry Potter movie was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* * * * * *

i loved it! it was very true about the special effects! it was the best movie i've ever seen! the end was awsome! when Pro. Qurriel's face was crumbled and He-Who-Must-Not be named escaped!

* * * * * *

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!
I thought it was the BEST movie!!!!
It was very long but very GOOD!!!!!!
It was EXCITING!!!

* * * * * *

I really liked the movie it was so much like the book.

* * * * * *

I think it was very enteresting

* * * * * *

I THANK THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE WAS GREAT BUT NEEDS TO HAVE EVERY PART & NEEDS TO BE LONGER

* * * * * *

I think it was great!!
            The special effects were just awesome!! My favorite part was when Harry,Ron, and Hermione went threw the Trapdoor, And INCLUDING QUDDITCH!!!

* * * * * *

what did it feel like to be a young move star that rocks?i am just starting harry potter and the scorcerces stone. say hi to your friends!!!!!!i am going to see your movie soon!!

* * * * * *

The movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the best movie I've seen this year. I loved the special affects. They left out a few parts though.

* * * * * *

I saw the movie yesterday and LOVED IT!!!! My favoite parts were the Quidditch match and when they went in the woods for detention . I also really liked the chess match towards the end.

* * * * * *

I didn't see it yet, but it sounds like it will be really cool!

* * * * * *

I LOVED THE MOVIE.THAT MOVIE WAS THE BET LONG HOURED MOVIE I'E EVER SEEN.WHEN THE MOVIE COMES OUT ON THE TAPE I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME MONEY FROM MY ALLOUENCE 2 BUY IT.I READ MOST OF THE BOOKS BUT NOT AS MUCH AS MY FRIEND.I LOVED THE MOVIE AND I'M GOING TO WATCH  IT OVER AN OVER.THANKS.

* * * * * *

It was pretty diff. from the book. I should Know as I've read each book 15 times or more. (literally) It was okay. Voldemort looked so much dill. from how they describe him in the books. They changed things around to. I thought Voldemort would look like a snake. It was pretty good. I liked the book much better though. I can't wait till the second one comes out though.

* * * * * *

i  can not see  the harry potter  moive   see   i go  to a christen  school   and it  has   witch  craft and soccrry that is why i cant go see it

* * * * * *

I thought the movie was a bit disappointing.  They left out to many parts of the book.  They portrayed Draco, Neville, the Weasley twins, & Snape horribly!  They didn't give them enough character!   
       They left out the POTIONS CHAMBER, the part where Hermione and Harry send Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback away with Charlie's friends, they didn't even mention Hedwig's name, they sent Ron into the forbidden Forest instead of Neville, they didn't have the Quidditch Cup, they forgot all about the part where Uncle Vernon went to work and saw all the crazy people and the part where someone hugged him, they left out the part on the train where Harry and Ron almost get into a fight with Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle, they put lines in the wrong places, they had Snape and Quirrel have the conversation about the Sorcerer's Stone inside Hogwarts instead of having it in the Forbidden Forest, they skipped from Halloween to Christmas without anything in the middle, and they didn't show the part where Hermione KNOCKED OVER Professor Quirrel. In the movie he just got distracted by the fire on Snape's robes!  THIS LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER!!
       To me the people who haven't read the book will LOVE the movie but to people who have read the books they will probably be a little disappointed like me.  Don't get me wrong it was a fantastic movie but it didn't stay faithful to the book!

* * * * * *

They Cut out alot from the book but other than that it was great.

* * * * * *

HI THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE AND IT HAD GREat fantasy! HARRY POTTER IS DA BOMB.! I ALSO THOUGHT IT PROBBLY ENCOURAGED US TO READ MORE OF HARRY POTTER BOOKS. IT CERTINLY DID TO ME!
