From the word "go" this movie became on of my favorites! As an avid Potter Fanatic (books), I always sit in the theater and compare the movies to the books. I go in knowing it's not the books put on celluloid, but adaptations of them. This movie however was very true to the last of J.K. Rowling's stories about the boy wizard who is now (in the eyes of the wizarding world) a man. I laughed at the 7 Potters, and cried over the 2 losses, just like I did when I first read the book. Bravo to David Yates, David Heyman, Steve Kloves, and all the cast and crew for making this first part of the last of Harry's adventures worth every penny spent to see it!
