Of course, the book has a lot more details than the movie. Having read the book a few years back, watching the movie was an afterthought and I had put it off for a while. The movie can and does stand on its own. It is a bit dark and feels like a part of a series. It is missing a bit of every-day fun magic a little bit; then again, that's by design, I think. It is setting up the audience for what's to come. Enjoyed it, but not like potter fanatic. My Ratings: 6.5
