As a huge fan of both the Harry Potter books and the movies, my expectations are always high. This movie did not disappoint. Although there were, in retrospect, times when there seemed to be little going on, I found myself completely shocked when the credits began to roll at the end. Fastest 2.5 hours of my life! The characters have developed so beautifully, the scenery was breathtaking, the action was superb. All in all, a great addition to the series and one that made all the people in my party anxious for Part II.
