*Warning! This review does contain bits of spoilers*
If you are a fan of the book, stay home and wait for the dvd. The movie is wayyyyy to long, tedious & at times downright boring. Huge portions of story were omitted including what could have been a beautiful funeral for Dumbledore. The director basically made his death a footnote. I was most upset by the "Lord of the Rings" vibe I caught. I left the movie feeling it's purpose was not to tell it's own portion of the story but to get the audience set up for the final two movies still to come. Yes there are great special effects and if you've only seen the movies, you will probably like this. Fans of the book will feel cheated.
