I was lucky enough to see a press screening of it last weekend, and it was AWESOME. I'm a huge fan of the books, and of this book in particular (always thought it would make the best translation onto the screen what with the tournament and all). They had a daunting task with the length of the book, but it was great. I'm going to see it again tomorrow afternoon
Just got in from seeing it and I thought it was very good - maybe a bit long, but that is probably inevitable given the size of the book!
Brendan Gleason is great as Mad Eye Moody, and so is Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter.
Just got back. It was really great. Best Harry Potter movie and almost best movie of the year up until Voldemort. I usually get myself so hyped up for movies like this that when I see it I'm dissappointed but this more than exceeded my expectations. Except for Voldemort. I don't even know what it was, but something just felt off. And then the stuff at the end felt a little jumbled, like the part with Moody and stuff. I think after I see it again I'll like those parts too though.
I reall thought they did a good job of condensing the script. They skip over a ton of stuff but you don't even notice. I really like how they beefed up the secondary characters like Ginny and Neville, I think that's part of how they managed to cut so much stuff wihout feeling like they did.
The Yule Ball was great! Poor Hermione, I hate Ron all over again. What an asshole.
Really awesome. I've been highly critical of the other movies, but this one finally gets it right. I felt like I was finally seeing real kids that just happened to be at a school of magic, and it finally felt like there were the same epic scale events going on that I read about.
I liked the whole bit where Harry and Ron have a row and are sniping at each other for a day or two, though this isn't in the book. Wondering what people who know more about the Potter books than I do thought of these scenes, though - do you feel it alters their relationship from what it is in the book?
I definitely think they should stick with all the three lead actors for future films - what does it matter that they are a couple of years older than the characters? That's nothing compared to the actors in Grease, or most other other teen movies. I can't imagine anyone else playing Harry, Ron or Hermione.
Unfortunately the sound system in the cinema where I was watching kept cutting out during the finale in the maze, which was pretty distracting - for me this whole sequence was not as good as the rest of the film, but I should really see it again without the technical problems!
Nope, it was pretty dead on from the book in that respects.
The only real disappointment I had came early in the film, which meant I hung onto it for a while. I was extremely disappointed not to get to see "world class" quiddich. I mean, we got to the game, but didn't get to see anything. I understand why it was cut, but I would have loved the chance to see the difference between Hogwarts level Quiddich, and professional style.
No, I liked Columbus's for what they were: faithful adaptations of the books. They lacked any sort of soul though, and were a great argument for Peter Jackson making changes to LotR for the screen.
Cuaron brought the world to life finally, but the characters still lacked something for me.
This film finally made me feel like I was watching part of the kids getting older - like they were more real as I mentioned above. This is definitely my favorite movie thus far, although probably the least faithful adaptation of the books considering the sheer quantity of what was omitted.
Exactly what I expected - Ineviatbly missed out loads of the book but was still the best film cos it has the best story. Also, the kids are old enough to know how to act now. Ron has now learned sulky face as well as scared face.

Well, I definitely like these better than Columbus... perhaps for that reason in part. It does have some soul and life to it.
Visually this wasn't as impressive though as Columbus's.... and visually it can't touch Cuaron's.
