We (adults and children) all loved it. On balance probably not quite as good as number three though. Cutting a long book to film length was very skillfully done I thought but, of course, there are going to be bits some of us would have prefered to be longer while others would prefer them shorter and vice versa. Yes Mad Eye certainly stole the show as it's a pity he didn't have a longer part. We all like the revolting Filtch of course. And his equally dreadful cat.Yes Michael Gambon didn't seem to be as good as he had been in the previous film. He is Irish (from Dublin) but I don't know why the accent comes and goes. We've just been watching the Singing Detective; no sound of an accent there at all. Roll on The Order of the Phoenix.
