Aint It Cool News has a review of the movie, our third straight positive (mostly) one in two days. It also is the second of the 3 to compare the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin Quidditch match to the Pod Race. Dare I let out a third WOO HOO!? Yeah, why not? Warning: There are spoilers in this review.
Quotage, more about Alan Rickman as Snape, since he’s been lavished over in all 3 reviews so far:
The adults in the film all did a great job. Mr. Rickman has the most challenging of all the roles in portraying Proffesor Snape, a complex character, in that he is a ‘good’ wizard, but hates Harry Potter with a passion and treats him with such cruelty that it’s …well… truly disturbing. Rickman is exactly as I imagined Snape to be. He’s intimidating, shrewd, cruel and truly scary when he talks quietly.
