>I just saw the movie last night and thought it was the best of the bunch. The humor was definitely one of the movie's strengths. Everyone in the theater was laughing at the awkward romances-especially the love triangle between Ron, Hermione, and the gag-me giggly Lavender. The movie also reflected the books' increasing maturity level as some of the creatures were downright frightening, causing me to gasp, and the 6ish boy in front of me to bury his face in his mother's arm.
>It is a visually stunning movie and I enjoyed it. But I was dissapointed by scenes added that were not in the book and not necessary to the story.
>I was so excited for this movie and I agree with Lynn it was visually stunning, but I feel that they raced through it. They changed certain scenes that worked perfectly in the book. I know people who haven't read the book, saw this movie and was confused by it. Ultimately I was disappointed with this movie. I liked the Order of the Phoenix the best out of all of them.
But ultimately you should watch it for yourself and form your own opinion. Don't let our comments influence you.
