I was looking forward to this movie, but with trepidation: the 6th movie was disappointing, key characters and events were omitted from previous movies that will be important to Deathly Hallows -- could the movie be as satisfying as the book? The answer is: never, the books will always be superior, but this movie did not disappoint me! From the beginning, the tone is moody, you can feel the tension that is shared by the citizens of the wizarding world. The young actors have matured (Emma Watson in particular), and their performances are impressive. The movie's creators have even managed to re-insert Bill & Fleur, so I am hopeful that the final installment won't be full of holes. I am now eagerly awaiting next summer and the wonderful conclusion.
