Anticipation

Harry Potter # 6 came out and i waited very (im) patiently. Tonight we went to see it. After the disappointment of the 5th one I was very anxious. I wasn't sure what to expect, more of the 1/2 story mush or a movie more like the originals. This was more like the originals.

The movie lost some of the story which was to be expected. It was a very long book. What it did right was tell the stories that needed to be told as well as some of the others. What they didn't do was tell half of the stories and hope that you read the book to make sense of it all.

The beginning could have been skipped (only because it made me dizzy). They added a few things to the movie that worked for me. It made the movie stand on it's own a little, to tell a different take on the story. The only part that bothered me was the end. Harry was not frozen by Dumbledore, that to me was important because it was the only way that Harry would have let the end happen the way it needed to.

Anyway it was worth the wait and hopefully the next 2 will be even better.

As a review of the theater that we saw the move, It was 20 BELOW as I was trying to enjoy the movie. That may be one of the reasons I shy away from the theater, even with pants and a sweatshirt I was freezing.
