I'm glad to say it does live up to all the hype. Everything shown is exactly
as I imagined it to be, having read the books. My only reservation is that,
understandably, the story has been abbreviated, so consequently some of the
characters or scenes do not have the significance they do in the book. I
won't say too much in order not so spoil it for you.

I'd be interested to hear from people who have not read the book what they
think of it...

Go and see it ASAP!

(...) Well, I haven't read the books, and I'm glad to say that this didn't matter much in following the film. But, I can still see some apparent abbreviations. First, I agree with Maggie about the location of the hut. I was quite surprised to see (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.harrypotter)

  Re: Saw the movie today! (bit OT)
 
saw the film last night and words fail me in a family newsgroup like this to adequately describe how dire it was. If it was indeed as close to the book as some say I'm suprised its only Neil Gaiman who is (apparently) suing. There wasn't one (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) I saw it monday (best day for movies, theater was almost empty :-) From the first moments till the end, the story grabbed me! Not having read the books yet (they're on order... here in Holland it turned out to be impossible to find the English (...) (23 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.harrypotter)
