Well, it wasn't a complete waste of time.
And surprisingly, I wasn't as furious with the directors as I was with the last six.
They didn't leave out crucial plot points. Although Harry only met Bill for the first time in Part One, everything was included to the best of the Directors ability, because of what had happened in the last six.
In fact I am prepared to go as far as to say that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is the best of all of them.
That's right. I'm going to announce that it is well worth seeing the film, if nothing else, for your own enjoyment at the cinema.
It does not end abruptly, although there were a good few places I thought they should have cut it off. Most viewers love a happy ending, although I'm not going to give away the cutaway point except to state the obvious: it doesn't end happily at the halfway point. Not yet.
Can't wait for Part 2 next year, and drag along whoever happens to be with me at the time.
Unfortunately, I don't think it is something you should take children to -- especially your under fives, because five and up tend to be more resilient. I think (not one hundred per cent sure) I actually heard someone sobbing in the theatres. But there was a good dose of tongue in cheek, lines copied directly from the book, and an interesting amount of accuracy.
Cheers, Amanda AKA Nyx
