Took our two grandchildren, ages 8 and 13, to see the movie. The 8-yr.-old covered his eyes when I told him a "real scary part is coming," but otherwise both of them enjoyed the movie. I'm with the reviewer who said Wormtail needed to die by his own silver hand! I know a great deal from the book had to be omitted, but the revelations re Dumbledore's family and Harry's frustrations re same are pretty important. Be that as it may, the movie is wonderful.
My two grandchildren, ages 12 and 7, went with me to see this movie, and the 7-yr. old, who talks nonstop in most situations, was enthralled! He hissed under his breath when a "bad guy" got in a good hit and grinned when the "good guy" won. It was nice that a nerdy kind of guy was a hero and Nicholas Cage made all his "sorerer's magic" look commonplace. Has a little bit of everything, fantasy, mayhem, evil, love, kindness, to appeal to all.
