Simply Incredible

This movie made me smile for hours afterwards and I couldn't fall asleep because I was so excited (saw the movie at night).
Splitting the final book into two was the only option they had, in my opinion, and it worked perfectly. In previous movies, I was frustrated 10 minutes in because of all that they had had to change or cut out in order to fit the book into a decently timed movie. Because they split the book in two, they were able to take their time and stay true to the book, which made for an astounding product.
I had high expectations for this film. It was the final book, and it was only the first half of said book. I was expecting to be pleased with the movie. When I left that theater, I was much more than pleased. I was on cloud nine. The movie was so much more than my expectations, and those were already very high.

Particularly striking to me was the opening scene and how perfectly it conveyed all of the emotions that I felt from the book.
I wouldn't change a thing, except explain more about Harry calling Voldemort "You-Know-Who" and Xenophilius saying the name, and why these two events were significant.
I think a scene explaining the taboo would have been beneficial, though my friends who hadn't read the books did not notice at all.

Overall, the first half of this final movie was absolutely incredible. I will be seeing it several more times in theater and will be waiting in line to get the DVD when it comes out. I have recommended this film to all of my friends and plan on dragging many of them to go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
