Unlike The Half-Blood Prince, there are no huge and unnecessary changes from the book (burning down the Burrow? really? why?). Like the Prisoner of Azkaban it's a beautiful and haunting movie that will appeal to adults as much as children. The stakes have gotten higher, wizards are dying, and the atmosphere is appropriately dark. You see the sacrifices these young people are making to fight evil, the pain and struggle of it, and the strong bonds between them that get stretched but never broken. The acting is strong and the movie is visually stunning. I went with low expectations and left eager for the final episode's release in the summer. Don't miss it Potter fans.
