i didn't find it too dark to be honest, i thought it was good, better than Pirates of the Caribbean at which i had to keep taking my glasses off to try and see what the hell was going on.

i will go see this again in 2D no doubt :D

ok sorry, can someone explain to my the relevance of the half blood prince? NOt in terms of his role, i know who he is and what he does (I kinda worked out Rickman was playing a good guy in the very first movie, tbh), but why 'prince'? is he really a prince in the royalty term? My Harry Potter guide doesnt explain it properly.

Final 'Harry Potter' movie has already earned $25 mil from advance sales

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 2 has already collected $25 million domestically from advance ticket sales, according to Warner Bros. (Variety first reported the news.) The majority of the sales have reportedly been for midnight screenings, giving Deathly Hallows a legitimate shot at beating the $30 million midnight record set last year by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The final Harry Potter film will also be aiming its wand at some other box-office milestones, such as the largest opening day (currently The Twilight Saga: New Moon with $72.7 million) and the biggest opening weekend (The Dark Knight with $158.4 million).

Deathly Hallows opens early Friday morning with midnight showings. The 3-D movie also debuts this week in every major foreign market except China (where it premieres Aug. 4), meaning the worldwide-opening record of $394 million (set by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) could also be in danger.

So people who have seen this? is it worth watching in 3D does it add to the "Magic" of the film (excuse my pun) , or should i save my pennies and watch it in 2D??

100 critic reviews at Rottentomatoes now and is scoring 96%. just 96 positive reviews and just 4 negative reviews. Wow, that is a very conclusive rating. It may drop as more critic reviews come in but unlike to dip lower than 88% I reckon. Lowest critic rated Harry Potter film was Order of the Pheonix at 78% which is still a great rating. Highest was Azkhaban at 91%. So the final film looks set to be highest rated of all of them...unless there is a sudden surge of haters!

personally i saw Phoenix as the best one by a long chalk (great wizard battle YEY FANTASTIC TO WATCH and harry having balls for the first time :cool: ), and Afghanistan as the worst by a long chalk (a rubbish nobrain middle-east hating title, and hermiones got a time machine but she never thinks to use it to solve every voldermort problem they get , FACEPALM MULTIPUS PLOTTUS :wall: ), so theres room for difference in opinion, true, however I am convinced this last one is going to be great.....i saw the trailer yesterday and it looked AMAZING.


'lets die together!!' that look on harrys face when he says that in the trailer :evil: FLLIPPPP! cant wait!
