Went to see it on Saturday with a good friend. First time I've been to the pictures in years. As feared they'd radically changed the story, Radcliffe was as wooden as ever, and my evening was ruined.

Susan Hill (the author) will surely loathe it...she disowned the TV adaptation because they changed the ending of her brilliant novel.

My only advice remains...go see the stage play...it is everything the film isn't.

Harry Potter fans will love it..they're used to bad acting.

There are some real clunkers going around at present, alas. I saw A Dangerous Method, about the Freud/Jung relationship, and was very disappointed. And Keira Knightly's ludicrous accent really irritated throughout.
