I took my mom and stepdad to this movie for the first showing at midnight and it did not dissappoint. Knowing that the book was very dark, I was concerned how it was going to keep my attention for 2 1/2 hrs, but it flew by, had some very funny lighter moments and was totally top notch acting showing a different side to each of the main characters. I totally hated how the book ended and felt the same way about the movie, but not in a bad way. Even though I had read the book recently, I was constantly surprised with how it played out on the screen. My favorite part had to be the quidditch game with Ron thinking he was unstoppable. Go Ron! Can't wait until the next movie comes out! = )
