It's pretty safe to say that anyone who went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is already an avid fan, and, in more cases than not, has already read the books and knows what to expect. I freely admit, I am no different! :)
More than ever, you are forced to see that these are no longer kids, they are young adults. And they are forced to take on more adult responsibility than most of us will ever know, and they have to step up to the plate and do it.
I think the movie stuck to the book as much as was possible, maybe slightly glossing over a thing or two here and there, but not enough to be bothersome. It's non-stop action and tension, anticipating every move, and the scene that was chosen to cut this film off and make way for the second, is a nail-biting moment that will leave you aching for more!
