Another entertaining rendering of the world of Harry Potter, a world of magic, wands, potions and monsters. This one tries to balance scares with comedy, and for the most part succeeds. An early scene with Ron vomiting slugs was particularly memorable. However, after all was said and done I was left with the feeling it could have been more. I felt trapped in a video game with a series of ever more difficult situations to escape from or foes to beat. Harry and company seemed to be reacting to these CGI-produced situations more than acting, a symptom common in many modern films made primarily by filming on a studio set against a green screen.
