Have NOT read the books

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2007)

OK, so now that is out of the way, this is an excellent movie, and I do not know or care how closely it follows the book, because the film was so entertaining. The focus of this film allowed for significant character development and involvement, which I felt the last two films were lacking, more importantly we get to see a circle of friends truly unite. This film was exciting and full of energy the special effects were certainly entertaining and the dialogue although slow in places was excellent. Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson were a joy to watch each showing a little more of their character's true nature. The show stealers where by far Gary Oldman, and Helena Bonham Carter turning in brilliant performances All in all this is still a film you should see in the theatre this tale continues to grow much larger than life.
