Ok, just got back.
WOW, for HP fans I will say this is about the best movie. Yeah, there are holes in the movie - Specially if you have read the book. The main hole is there is only one meeting with Serious Black. If you have read the book, you will know what I am talking about. Also in Dumbledores thoughts there is a big hole.
All that aside, this movie IMO has the best special effects of all the others combined.
For small children, like Garcia said - You may have to think on bringing small children. There are some deaths in the movie, and some not so nice curses.
I was completely entertained from the start of this movie. The last 2 minutes is kinda the only bogus thing. Because I thought the ending should have been much better (also enter in another hole for Serious Black).
Yeah, we saw it last night. It seems to be mostly the first part of the movie that has some wierd continuity issues. But that's mostly because there are so many relevant details that needed to be shown that it would have made it almost a 3.5+ hour movie to give it continuity.
Also, there tends to be a bit of jumping around in the books, anyway. (Its august and they're doing stuff...then rowling says they spent several months in class, then its january. I'd imagine kinda hard to make something like that flow very easily.
There were a couple of kids in the theater near us that had to be taken out of the theater at one point. (The curses)
But all in all, I thought it was a beautifully done movie, and quite an admirable adaptation of what was nearly an 800 page book.
A further comment about the local theater, though...they left the house lights on for the first 20 minutes. *sigh*
