Harry Potter Don't expect magic here. Director Harry Potter tries hard to weave a spell of misty nostalgia as he lays on the symbolism, swells the music and swoops his camera around on helicopters and cranes. Sadly, he never conjures any dramatic momentum. His one smart trick is casting Mr. Radcliffe, though the actor performs a more supporting role here.
If you didn't know Harry Potter was adapted from a novel, the annoying narration by adult Misty would be your first clue. Other tip-offs: the unfocused point of view, the emphasis on atmosphere over story, and all the obvious metaphors and "magical realism," including a wild stallion in the water and an old man trying to catch a legendary big fish. And I won't even mention the cartwheeling nuns on the beach...Harry Potter
