You can really tell that the director took great care with the subject matter, plot and feeling in this movie. Overall, I felt that the story was treated with great respect. This kids are more grown up and this movie reflects that. Was it non-stop action? No, of course not. Seems that the plot dragging a bit was a common complaint for book as well as this movie, but there is a lot of emotional depth in this that was not present in many, if not all, of the previous ones. I felt there was plenty of action and I appreciated the emotional depth.
All in all, I felt this was one of the best Harry Potter movies in the whole series. Loved it.
