This movie was great. I am an instant fan, and haven't been into the Harry Potter craze being that I have been an adult through the entire release of books and movies. Non the less I took my wife who is a fan and thought it was well made. The only issue I would have is if young fans want to see this one, it is way to adult with very scary themes, very sensual undertones, and much to realistic. As an adult it was enjoyable, and leads me to want to watch the others in their entirety. Two thumbs waaaayyyy up
