Wow..i'm surprised no one has posted anything about this movie. I don't know if there are any fans in here for the series but I saw this movie at the midnight premiere..in 3D. Pretty awesome, handsdown one of the best movies i've ever seen. The 3D glasses were pretty cool they were harry potter's glasses although i've heard that was just for the midnight premiere.

Any other thoughts for anyones that's seen it?  Wink

In just 3 days it SMASHED the box office making $169,189,427 domestically and $312,300,000 overseas...totaling out to $481,489,427 in 3 days.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

How old are people who watch this?

I've never seen a single one of them - even on free TV.

Aren't they based on kids/adolescents books?

It's not a kids movie.

But the books are absolutely great.

Harry Potter fandom

Quote:
Studies on the fandom have shown that both children and adults are fans, despite Rowling's original marketing of the books towards children aged nine to twelve.

Sounds like she underestimated the maturity of her audience.

I'll look for the first one on TV.  It should be on soon to help publicize the new movie's release.  I just don't have much appetite for fantasy after reading those terribly plodding and predictable Hobbit novels and one of the Narnia novels (equally predictable but at least I stopped after one).

Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

You knew there would be alot of deaths when the poster board says.."It all ends"...but the battles were great I thought, especially the ending one. Alot of twists in the end if you didn't read the books.

But i'm sad to see them go too.  Sad

But...J.K. Rowling isn't done yet...

I've seen all the movies, and the last one definitely takes the cake! I enjoyed it all the way through. The battle at Hogwarts was epic! I loved how the truth unfolded in regards to Snape.

Im 54, male, and my wife & I took our 2 kids (now 22 & 18) to the new Potter flik. It was AWESOME. We've all read the books, and seen all the movies. We saw this one in 3D, and it wasn't a film, but a digital video presentation. No reel change splices, no scratches or dirt, and awesome surround sound as well as incredible digital effects. Highly recommended. Cheesy

The first one was on TV last week.  I tried but I couldn't stick it out for more than an hour.

Didn't anyone notice that every live actor was 10 years old and every other actor was a CGI cartoon?

And the entire movie is, "We're learning magic"!

Now that I know how it ends I don't have to waste several hours watching Emma Watson grow up.
