It is fascinting to see a book on film. The movie follows the book page by page. However, it was a restless movie. I hate to sound like a snob, but the last installment of HP was by far the worst yet (and I loved 1-6). I think the good reviews are coming from folks who WANT this movie to be epic. Sadly, it was nothing of the like. Because 1-6 was so fascinating, the standart for 7 was set low. At that point, HP fans were already sold. They were going to love 7 no matter what. The last episode of the series was drawn out and predictable. I think part 2 can only be better. Save the money and read the book again.
