A lot of people are saying they found this one a bit slow at times but having seen it twice so far, I didn't find that to be the case at all; surprising since I did find parts of the beginning of the book rather slow. The pace was perfect, in my opinion, and the movie sticks very closely to the book, which is excellent. The Ron and Hermione relationship was portrayed perfectly, and just the right amount. My only complaint is that, obviously, I felt like I'd watched half a movie, though I'm a big fan of the decision to split the book into 2 movies; if they hadn't done it this way, WAY too much would've been left out. So overall, I highly recommend this.
