my daughter has read all of the books several times over so while not a really big fan of kiddie fantasy movies, it was ok. compared to the last 5 however, it was the worst story and action wise.
spent way way too much time on the giggely comming of age boyfriend/girlfriend stuff and way way too little time on action or story line advencement. most of us really do not care if hermiley ever gets with the red head kid or not anymore, they have dragged out that little drama way too long to get any millage out of it any more. and why does harry get the ugly one? sister is a serious 2 bagger. the chick he stood up in the beginning of the show was much better looking.
they could have cut an hour out of the "love boat" scenes and even if they did not add anything in place of it people would have been happier.
what happened to harry? every one is whipping his **** with one hand tied behind their backs. he is getting punked by everyone he comes up against except malfoyd.
the only outstanding part was dumbeldorf roasting the undeads in the cavern, and by the way harry was getting punked by them too. nothing outstanding at all with the rest of the movie.
see it if you have seen the rest, skip it if you havent. as far as the series i give it a 1 out of 6. as a movie, a 6 out of 10. wait for the dvd rental. rent it too, it is not worth buying.
