This movie should have been named: Draco's Struggle: a Harry Potter Tale. Of course, then, the watcher would have been ready for all the changes and additions to the movie. What got most people upset at my theater was the additional scenes, that told you the story line ahead of time, were more fascinating to the eye then the derived from the book scenes. They covered up the fact that they added the scenes by making them good. The movie was fun to watch and engaging and I recommend it; as long as you realize its the first Harry Potter Movie to actually be based off the book. They used the book as an outline and had funwith it. The movie itself was great, the actors, wonderful. Go See it and come up with your own ideas.
