This installment of the movie definitely portrays the most grown up version the characters in any of the movies in the Harry Potter Saga. Out of all the films, this one shows the most effort in the area of character and story development. It however solely focuses on the section of the novel where the story is still developing and the meat of the conflict is barely seen. They definitely leave you desiring more direct confrontation. If you're not a Harry Potter reader or follower, expect to be disappointed by the abrupt ending of this first installment of the last book. Also parents with children should probably read the reviews before exposing their children to the strong images portrayed in this movie.
