Title: Don't Read the Book Right Before Seeing the Movie!
Review: I loved the movie but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had not read the book again before going. The director is certainly a more "artsy" director than the previous director (Chris Columbus) and his liberal thinking is evident in the making of this film. The scenery is beautiful and the art director did a wonderful job of creating the majestic Hogwarts that is described in the books. Because it differs from the other movies, many reviewers seem to forget the Hogwarts from the books. There are many cases of dramatic license in the film but I think it gives more visual interest to the story. PoA is my favorite book and this is my favorite movie so far, but when viewing this movie, treat them as two very different works of art.
