I was very pleased with this movie. Yates did an excellent job of bringing Rowling's masterpiece to life on the big screen. My cousin and I were really anxious to see this movie. We read the books as kids, and we consider Harry Potter a large part of our childhood. There were a lot of action packed scenes, and they were really intense. I actually jumped in my seat a few times! It is torture having to wait 8 months until the next movie comes out. We saw the movie on opening night.
