Un-inspiring start, spectacular finish

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2007)

Like most people who saw the film today, I have read the books, and I know the storyline. To start with the negatives:
-the battle scene at the end is way too short, lasting maybe 3 minutes. -The aurors aren't as present as they should be. -the beginning is sort of uninspiring and slow -too short... only 2 hrs. 18 min.
Now for the wonderful good points:
-basically everything else. -Umbridge is the highlight of the movie. Spectacularly done. -The Weasley's running out with a shower of fireworks: also spectacular -awesome emotion and feeling -the battle between the children and the death eaters: superb cinema
I don't have too many qualms. Just a few, as listed above. Any Harry Potter fan, big or small, will be just as enchanted by this movie.
