No reson for using the "Port Key" as a kind of get-out-of-jail free card. Once again Harry gets by with help from his friends. Harry seems to get by quite well with the same defensive spells he knows by heart. Dissapoitment that the dragons in the trailer never materalize in this move!! What a let down - thanks hollywood for producing a trailer full of false promises. They thought too far ahead about how to earn money on next film!
My wife usually watches love stories, but this movie was engrossing for both of us. One character gets what he wants, one gets out, one get what he doesn't expect but nobody wins. The 2hrs 13 minutes seems like 1 1/2 hours at the most. Plot development displays tremendous continuity between takes in the day of the live of very different characters.
I sat in the very front--dodging space debris. Up close and personal the movie will stir powerful feelings of loyalty and solidarity near to the ending. In between it got laughs, conflicts, action, evoking a steady stream of Ohs and ahs from the movie viewers. There are no dull moments in this flict. It dwarfs all other space flicks that I have ever seen. I recommend sitting up close enough so flying objects pass right out of your field of vision!
