Bell is as accomplished a dancer as he is an actor, carrying the movie with astonishing aplomb and turning in the sort of star-making performance that leaves you regretting the fact he won't be playing Harry Potter any time soon.

Döpt efter en förstärkare som i sin tur är döpt efter denna film som är baserad på en bra bok! Härlig film!
