The movie was intense, the acting by the 3 main actors was better than ever, as the story was set up for the finale in July. I loved the initial setup as Harry, Hermione and Ron all prepared to leave their old lives behind and set off on this quest. My 10 year old granddaughter, daughter and I all loved the movie. My husband, who is not as intertwined in the HP myth, found the middle piece as the trio search for the horcruxes somewhat boring. The ending however we all found sad, yet satisfying as I wasn't sure where part 1 would end. Overall I can't wait for part 2 and I will watch this one again.
