I sometimes miss the Magic

It's been a long journey for "the boy who lived" under the stairs with his cast iron figurines... as depicted in one of my favorite scenes in the opening of the Deathly Hallows. A very foreboding time from such humble beginnings! There's danger, humor and heart in this movie but you sometimes miss the magical wonder that was in the first couple of films. While trying to keep the movie going at roller coaster pace, they glaze over some small details like... why is Harry carrying around a piece of mirror in his sock (only if you read the book do you know why) and Mad Eye Moody deserved a better farewell, but like all book to movies you must balance the relevant with what moves the story along, and the movie does that extremely well. David Yates not being my first choice of directors for this MEGA franchise has come into his own. While not feeling like a stand alone movie, they do an amazing job leaving you at the conclusion part 1 wanting more!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
