You either like these fantasy wizard/witch magical happenings movies or you don't. I do like them but with each subsequent Harry Potter film the magic and special effects and fantastical creatures and clever objects that metamorphose into other clever objects has decreased.There was still enough present for me to thoroughly enjoy this film; in spite of its over 2 and 1/2 hour running time but there were lags in the action. Too many talking scenes and running from the bad guys chases. I have to confess I've never been able to keep the characters straight. I don't know the moogles from the dumbledores from the hogwatts from the fuzzlemuzzles. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
I also was aware in this film (because it wasn't as transporting and other-worldly) that the 3 main actors really are not good actors. They are all sort of wooden. I think the best one is probably Ron.
However, we will see Part 2 next year because there is still enough wonder and joy and mystery. Plus i love all the buildings; they are crooked and full of nooks and crannies and hidden corners and twisty staircases that go nowhere.
Since I have the forum, I just to shout it out: I HATE these movies, they are superficial and effects-driven and the best part is the supporting cast of adults (Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent etc). I don't know why, but I just literally have to fight to stay away during these movies. And why do I even care? Probably b/c my husband loves them and has even watched some twice (???)
