Description of Movie:  Rescued from the outrageous neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy with a great destiny proves his worth while attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Review: I've mentioned before....Chris columbus is one of my favourite directors, and Harry Potter P.S. is no exception. This movie was one of, (if not) the best movie in the Potter series; the scriptwiritng for this movie was exceptionally well done, most probably because the book itself was the shortest in the series. All-in-all almost nothing was omitted from this film as heavily as it was from the others. The acting in this movie from the children was just as it should be, there was no overacting, yet the innocence of the characters is obvious. Every single character in this film accurately portrayed that of its novel counterpart, much more than can be said for other characters in later films, most importantly, Professor Snape (my second favourite character in the series) was as slimy as he was in the books....my personal favourite characteristic of his. I digress, the film itself was beautifully written and along with that, the score composed by John Williams was - as always is with Williams - masterfully written and adds to the overall fantasy aspect of the film.
In the end, this movie is a wonderfully done movie and will always be one of my favourties.
