I really enjoyed this Harry Potter. It was well worth the five hours I waited in line to see it at midnight. Yates did a great job mixing humor into the storyline without being too distracting or seeming to try too hard. The one thing I didn't like was that they cut out the first battle of Hogwarts. I knew this going into the movie, but I was still a little disappointed. However, the rest of the movie was fantastic, I loved the new Burrow scene and thought the acting was quite well done. Everyone seemed to have improved since last time, and the newcomers (especially Lavender and the younger versions of Tom Riddle) were fantastic. Great movie!
