Dear Husband and I had our annual date last Sunday. In the midst of all the preparations for Thanksgiving, he took me off to see the newest Harry Potter movie. The break in the preparations was a relief, the one-on-one time with DH a joy, and the movie was well worth going to see.
I've read the Harry Potter series, so it came as no surprise that each movie would be a little darker than the one before it. The kids are maturing, and the story line is focusing on Valdemort's attempts to kill off Harry Potter. The good witches are realizing their world is in peril; we won't see them begin to fight back until the next movie.
I won't do a recap of the story here. You can get that information at hundreds of sites, with more detail than I have time to share. Let me just say that I enjoyed it, despite the two-and-a-half hour length, and recommend it to all.
I think I heard that the first weekend ticket sales for this movie were $104,000,000! I'm betting that most of the people who saw the movie, enjoyed it, except for my niece, who was ticked that they couldn't cram the entire book into 150 minutes! *G* Go see it.

I have been to it last Tuesday with hubby and the boys. It was good, and yes - did get darker than the previous... but too, as you point out the kids are maturing and Voldemort is all the more focused on killing off Harry. My review - two thumbs up.

It's fun to know that I have friends who have gone to see it. My family is divided...the younger ones are all for it, the older ones think I'm crazy!

I just finished the book last week and I am waiting for the lines to die down before I see it.

I was surprised to find that it wasn't difficult to get a ticket for Sunday on the weekend it opened. We went for the 12:50 show, and had to stand in line for about 40 minutes. I purchased tickets on-line, but they don't reserve your seat. I can't think of any other movie I would stand in line for.
