My husband, two teenage kids and myself really looked forward to this movie. As much as I'd like to say it was great...it just wasn't. This movie was slow and hard to follow - if I didn't know the book I would've been totally lost. We all agreed that it included scenes that were boring and unneccesary while leaving out things far more crucial. Ultimately I think they needed two movies for this book. We left the theater feeling "flat". I would have never thought that I would not recommend seeing a HP movie but I'd pass on this one.
