Best Harry Potter calendar composition to date!, July 24, 2003
(Warning: The following text may contain spoilers for those who have not read the first two Harry Potter books or viewed the movies.) This calendar is entitled Harry Potter 2004 Calendar: Heroic Moments. It includes collages of photographs from the movies Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Each month contains 2-3 brilliantly colored pictures from the movies, each collage representing an heroic moment. The themes included in this calendar are: Harry frees Dobby, Harry slays the Basilisk, Battling the mountain troll, Aragog, Down the trapdoor, The Polyjuice Potion, The search for the injured unicorn, The Whomping Willow, The Rogue Bludger, The dueling club, Hermione vs. Draco, and Harry defeats Tom Riddle. Each theme has a memorable caption from the movie associated with the heroic scene.While this calendar lacks the centerfold of stickers that previous calendars have included, I felt this calendar was a must-have nonetheless for the Harry Potter fan. Its composition is ingenious, the colors are brilliant, and the photographs are the best quality to date.

This calendar ROCKS!, October 4, 2003
This is the best Harry Potter calendar I have yet, and that is saying something, because I have them all! I just love how they put the quotes on each page! It contains the coolest scenes and characters! I will probably buy two.

Good but uneven intermovie calendar, March 16, 2004
Calendrius reviewum. OK, so Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets came out in 2002, the calendar came out in 2003, so a 2004 calendar would logically have material from the first two movies, right? Right, which this calendar does. However, the months are clearly skewed towards the second movie, with only three months are dedicated to the Sorcerer's Stone. Why not an even six/six, that's what I'd like to know?The picture selections are well chosen, though not as good as last year's calendar. The one's that raises bemused eyebrows is the large picture of the mountain troll with Harry's wand stuck up its right nostril. Nice to see that for 31 days, that. It's the quotes from the movies written on parchment-coloured rectangles that sink it. They work if the dialogue's toe-tinglingly triumphant or something apt that fits the scene. The potion book's explaining the Polyjuice Potion, shown aside Hermione's preparation of it, great. Oliver Wood's simple "Watch it Harry" in the picture where Harry's chased by the Rogue Bludger, okay. But Harry accusing Lucius Malfoy of precipitating the events of the story over a picture of Dobby being freed doesn't work. A simple "Dobby is free!" would've been better. Another observation: none of the instructors show up-it's mostly Harry, Ron, and Hermione. And no, there isn't a special page with stickers like there were on the 2003 wall calendar. That'll probably come with the 2005 calendar for The Prisoner of Azkaban. Reviewus terminatus.
