Excellent Adaptation

The choice to split this book into two movies was a good one. After reading the book, I though to myself, "there is no way they can make a good movie out of this. There's simply too much to put into just 2.5 hours, and a lot of it can only be easily portrayed in book form."
However, since it was split, there was plenty of time to include everything important, and do it well. This hasn't been done well since Chamber of Secrets. I was very impressed that nothing was rushed, in fact, the movie went at a perfect pace and portrayed the tone of the book very well.
One of the strongest aspects of the movie was the fact that even if it wasn't based on a beloved book franchise, it would still have been very enjoyable. This can't be said of some other movies (*cough* Goblet of Fire *cough*).
I was very emotional the entire movie. I cried, gasped, and yes, let out a few fangirl squees here and there. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I was constantly on the edge of my seat.
I am a part of the generation who grew up on Harry Potter, so I am sad to see this end to an era, but I could not have asked for a better way to end what might be the most influential literary work of the decade.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
