Making up for the piece of crap that was 'Half-Blood Prince,' the 7th installment of the Harry Potter series started a little shaky but improved quickly.
I believe the shaky start was, mostly, due to the problems they gave themselves by not sticking closely enough to the book with #6, and they addressed some of those issues very well.
The appearance of ALL CAPS HARRY was actually handled very well- enough to get the point across, and not enough to set my teeth on edge.
The acting was what you'd expect from a team who've done this for 7 movies so far, and each of the main three did very well.
This is a slow movie, until the end. Just like the book. Make no mistake, this is keeping much more in the spirit of the book than did HBP, which means the first installment will be fairly slow. You have been warned.
