As a die hard HP fan, I opted not to watch any previews or trailers of HBP before it was released. I wanted to enter the theater with no expectations whatsoever, but I still walked in hoping (and praying) for the best. I was stoked! It was phenomenally acted and directed, and Kloves' (the screenwriter's) spin on Rowling's work was well-written. There were many hilarious puns and quips written into the dialogue to lessen the intensity of the film while still keeping the intensity of the book. While I was slightly disappointed with the scene in the astronomy tower, I was pleasantly surprised with Rupert Grint's outstanding performance as Ron. He's come along quite a way.
