It's been several years since I read the book, so the story was fresh and kept me enchanted from start to cliff-hanger ending. Great timing on the ending. The aerial photography left me breathless. I went with my son, Jason--age 41. He likes to sit up front. It felt like we were on those mountain tops. I'm glad that we didn't see the 3-D version when that snake reached out to bite off my head! Alas, I want to go see it in 3-D. After the entire series of movies are in a boxed set, I'll buy it and enjoy the stories once more. I have the entire set of books. Love the magical enchantment of Harry's coming of age story. I can forget my daily challenges and escape to another world.
