What a fantastic set-up for the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise! This movie was intense, it was hard to believe that when the lights came up that two and a half hours had gone by. When I first learned that they would be making two movies of the final Harry Potter book, I was cynical; thinking it was simply a ploy to make more money on the craze. However, there wasn't a single scene that didn't belong in this film, and from reading the book, I know there is a TON of story left to tell. The film makers did a fantastic job of using beautiful landscapes to capture the mood of the story. Great movie!!
