This movie was a big disappointment. Our two girls 8 and 10 hated it. My wife and I saw no point to it. No plot, no humor, and any themes were several planes above childhoofd level. There was nothing to like, except the ending. As my 8-yr old said - "Daddy, I liked the ending the best. It was a happy ending - I was happy it ended." Save your money and time - this one is a looser.
Caution to parents of small children- Two scenes were scary - just as scary as previous HP movies, so I do not understand that this one is PG and the ones before were PG-13. The scare factor is on par with HP 4 and 5.
The kissing and smooching were very light. Really no big deal. I think too much has been made of this aspect in some reviews.
Overall, it was a great HP movie, light hearted, typical HP humor, w/ spectacular FX, and a very enjoyable family experience. If you liked HP 1 thru 5, you will also love this one. Highly recommended.
We have 6 and 8 yr old girls - they loved the movie and their parents enjoyed it too. Plenty of magical scenery and a whimsical story line, together with great actors and actresses add up to a special family movie experience. This was less gory than the first Narnia movie, and suitable for small children. Probably not good for toddlers. The main characters were especially good - our children could identify with them easily. Don't miss this one!
