[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 2732539, member: 960"] I will dissent. :) Just got back and I enjoyed it, but it's not the best HP movie. And my daughter, the resident HP nut who never finds fault with anything HP ranked it last of the four films. She plans to re-read the book tonight so she can go rip the movie to shreds on muggle.net this weekend. My son, too, noticed the lack of magic in the movie (and he didn't like it). That didn't bother me, at all. There were enough magic curses flying around for me. I liked the portrayal of Dumbledore in this film. He seems not quite 100% confident and actually a littler nervous that he doesn't have all of the information. I liked that. The scene with Snape beating Ron and Harry was very funny. And George & Fred stole every scene they were in (when they had dialogue). The comic relief seemed more natural & less forced than in the three previous films. Overall, I enjoyed it and I think they made some good cuts (that book really needed an editor). My test of a film is: Do I want to see it again? This one is a resounding "probably" for me. By contrast, the first two I only bought on DVD since my daughter liked them. The third one I loved and wanted to see again and buy right away. This film is good, but it's no PoA. [/QUOTE]
