I just became a fan of the Harry Potter films and I enjoyed watching number 1-5 and 6 on cable/via movie rentals. But I thought number 7 went on and on ...way too long with the story telling.....Anyone that has watched the series knows what's going on and the film didn't need to be so long toothed.... I love the story but this one missed out on a good balance of action and the unfolding of the story. I walked out saying to myself that if number 8 is not done well it will be big let down for all the fans! Sorry HP7!
