Wow. This is definitely the best of the three films so far. The visuals are stunning, and Hogwarts is now one of the beautiful things I've ever seen. I can recognise the mountains and lakes because last summer I went up there to look at all the locations. One of the places where Harry and Lupin stand was the view out of my hotel room, believe it or not.

But I agree with karen_ginger, it was far to rushed and a lot of things were cut out. If I hadn't known the book as well as I do, I would have been totally confused. They just didn't seem to make Sirius as threatening as he's supposed to seem before they find out he's innocent. The Fat Lady was great, as was Professor Trelawny (if that's how you spell it).

I have to say, one of my favourite scenes was when Harry, Neville, Ron, Seamus and Dean are in the dormitory haing a laugh and mucking around. It shows they are just normal kids which they've never done before - usually it's all plot, plot, plot.

I think one of the nicest touches were the 'new' parts to Hogwarts, added in by the director. They were absolutely gorgeous, and I especially loved the courtyard with the fountain, the huge clock and the wooden bridge.

I'll definitely be seeing it again.

I disagree with KAZ, it was totally Ron and Hermione all the way. I mean, when Buckbeak was executed! She put her arms around Ron and cried into him, and Harry was just standing there like a total larry.
