I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter. I've read the books and have seen all the movies, more than once, but this one, part 1, has fallen far short of all the others. It was boring, unimaginative, dull, slow paced and jumbled. If you hadn't read the books, you really had no idea of what was happening to their friends and family back in the wizarding world and the stress level and emotional torture that Hermione, Harry and Ron were really going through, the movie never conveyed it properly. I hope part 2 is much better.
