The films are too long, too boring, and too full on themselves for being Harry Potter films.

It does miss the richness and eloquent (and often surprising) scene transitions of Prisoner of Azkaban, I think mostly because there is so much to cram into this movie.  The kids are right, without doubt, that the books are much better than the movies, and I say that enjoying the movies quite a bit.</summary><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3738579/113303044620283971/comments/default/113337605643841831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3738579/113303044620283971/comments/default/113337605643841831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/2005/11/coming-out-of-showing-of-harry-potter.html?showComment=1133376000000#c113337605643841831' title=''/><author><name>Simmons B.
