My husband, daughter, a family friend and I went on opening night. We waited 21/2 hours, but it was worth the wait! The movie was great! Yes, my husband and I are big kids. We have all read the books, and loved them. But the experience of seeing the story was "SPELL" binding. We were all on the edge of our seats for the entire show and can't wait for the next one. GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!
