our family has been HP since the beginning. I thought this one was drawn out, tons of pauses between lines, didn't follow the book as well as other movies. Big parts missing that could have been included if we didn't watch HP , Hermoione and Ron sigh so much. If you didn't read the book, you would have never known what was happening. You have ot see it if your an HP fan, but I hope Part II is not as draggy.
