Bu**er! He played his final scene 10 seconds after I hit the submit button :wall:

Worth a peek on iPlayer - he appears early doors. Be prepared for a double-take ... and was his 'look' convincing in the Hallows??!

I saw this with a competition win Cineworld ticket - I've been really lucky with them! ;)

I found the film slightly disappointing if I'm honest, but don't get me wrong, it was still enjoyable. I just expected more from it that's all.

Daniel Radcliffe's acting, and his character for that matter, seemed a bit weak and lacklustre I thought, whereas Emma Watson and Rupert Grint seemed to have developed considerably and now somewhat outshine old Harry. Harry and Hermione's dancing scene was particularly cringeworthy, and I lay the blame squarely at his door rather than hers. Flowing and spontaneous? I don't think so! What were you thinking Harry?

I felt the film was dark and atmospheric to the point of tedium in several places and was surprised to find myself clock watching on a couple of ocassions. I just hope part 2 is a bit more action packed and visually pleasing.

7.5 out of 10 from me.

I think unfortunately this film will appeal more to fans of the books because we understand WHY everything in this movie happens, whereas if you havent read the books, you dont get a very good understanding(i had to explain several things to my BF afterwards)
I was a bit iffy about the content but unfortunately it is crucial to understand the 2nd part, which WILL be more action packed and visually exciting because everything finally comes together :)

I really enjoyed it, specially after watching the first one on TV the previous day. They have gone a long way!

I thought this was toooo long, I think they could have cut out at least 1/2 as some of the scenes seemed pointless. But I must admit I am not a die hard fan of Harry Potter but have enjoyed the other films.

I thouht it was too dark, my 10 year old jumped out of his seat at one point and several of the early scenes were quite scary, he wanted to go home after 10 minutes :tears: This film should be aimed at their target audience which is 10 years ish and younger, I dont understand why they needed to make it a 12A certificate. I wouldn't recommened it for any child under say 10 years old.
A bit disappointing

Harry Potter is generally classed as TEEN fiction now as they do have darker subjects, the first book may have been a younger audience as they wernt as dark but as they have progressed the target audience has become broader and slightly older.

Actually, no, you are wrong. It is classed as JUNIOR fiction with different covers managing to work it's way into ADULT fiction.

I've never seen it in TEEN in any public libraries. Or bookshops for that matter.
