This HP movie was good, mainly because it was a HP movie. However, I thought this one fell short of some of the others. (I would rate 3 or 4 of the first 5 movies as being better than this one.) Perhaps it's because the book was so fantastic. Naturally, the movie couldn't include all the things the book did; otherwise it would've been 6 hours long. However, I would've placed more concentration on some areas and less on others. This movie had both touching funny moments as well as fantastic special effects we've come to expect from this series. However, it was not what I expected. I'm not sure quite what I was expecting, but afterward I like that this movie wasn't quite it. If you're a Potter fan though, it's still a must see.
