I have to say I'm surprised at the number of positive reviews. I think that many people probably didn't want to feel that they wasted $10 per ticket, so they looked for something positive to say. Frankly, out of all the movies so far, I felt this one was the most disappointing, and one of the least attentive to the book. They failed to really emphasize the tensions between the characters (romantic and otherwise) and they created a much more scattered feel to the plot than was necessary. As a family of 5, we went with high hopes that it would be on par with the other HP movies. The result: there's $50 and 2 and 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Wait for the DVD or at least the Dollar Show
