This is by far and away the best Harry Potter film to date. The actors have matured so much and the storyline is much darker and dramatic than any of the previous films. Of course there were some really comical scenes that are present in all of the films to help break the tension. You can really see the chemistry developing between Ron and Hermione. Still not feeling the love for the Harry/Ginny match. (FYI Daniel Radcliffe is SO HOT!) Could amost see Harry with Hermione, but we all know where the storyline goes so forget that and I think the Ron/Hermione matchup is a good one. Voldemort is amazing and the climax in the second movie with will be epic. There obviously were some key elements missing from the book, but what do you expect in a 2.5 hour movie. The ending definitely leaves you desperate to see the next film right now, but guess I'll have to wait until next summer.
