As I watched this movie, I looked for a couple of things. First off, would Quidditch be back? Yes, at long last they brought Quidditch back (the last film did not have Quidditch, although Umbridge did forbid it). Would the scenes be explained? Yes, I understood what the actors/actresses were doing and why. Lastly, how would the new actor who plays Professor Slughorn be? He was outstanding. There was much to do with teenage emotions in this movie. Ah, to be in love. I just cannot wait until November of 2010, when "Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows part one" is released (part two will be released in July of 2011).
If your into statues coming to life and things moving about in paintings, then you will love this movie. Having a knowledge of history will not hurt you when watching this movie. Also, know who Amelia Earhart is, as she is a major role character in this movie. All the cast is back and it is directed by the same director as the first movie. A must see if you enjoyed "Night at the Museum" or if you like Ben Stiller and/or Robin Williams.
