walbournI enjoyed the new HP movie, although I probably would've liked it more if they did the 'Kill-Bill' style of two full-length movies released 3-6 months apart instead of trying to compress it into just one.
IMAX rocks, and the kids are continuing to turn in good performances. They are getting older than their characters pretty fast, but it still has the verisimilitude of a young wizards school for me. Ms. Granger is likely to remain far too young to be 'sexy' to me through the remainder of the movie series--at some point in the past few years, teenage girls went from "hot" to
"does her father know she's wearing that?"--, but she does have an appeal that Natalie Portman and the Olsen Twins could never have: she's attractive because her character is brilliant, not because her character is showing a lot of midriff or dresses like a whore. Go librarian chic!

loree commented that the biggest problem with the new movie is that it spends far too much screen-time and budget on the dragons/first-challenge, and it shorts many other parts of the story. I agree, and as someone who doesn't read the books I felt like they were skipping a lot of plot advancement.
