As a die hard Harry Potter fan, I must applaud the director of this installment of the series. Now I don't think any of the movie series can hold a candle to the books, but this is by far the best coverage of the novels. We got an inside look at the castle, the special effects were nicely done, and it covered many of the important facts. As the books are 800 pages+ it cannot possible contain all the details that we enthusiast would love, but for a 2.5 hour movie, it does its job. It takes you on all the roller coasters that a good movie should; humor, action,suspense, horror, romance, and drama. Well worth the cost of a ticket. Good job...
