Wow...

[Karen]

All I can say, is wow. Such an amazing movie. Visually stunning - 
Quidditch and Diagon Alley were sooo well done. Everyone cheered at 
the end of the Quidditch match. The actors were spectacular - 
especially Emma Watson, Robbie Coltrain and Rick Harris (think I got 
that right - Hermione, Hagrid and Snape). They had their characters 
spot on. Emma was the perfect little know-it-all at the beginning, 
and Snape is the guy you love to hate. I personally plan on seeing it 
over and over and over again - and not only for Sean Biggerstaff 
either (I have a new Oliver Wood fetish, but who can blame me?)

To repeat myself - Wow. To all those who are doubting the ability of 
the movie to live up to the standards that the book set, go see it. 
You'll be pleasantly surprised. A few bits are left out, or smooshed 
together, but at 2.5 hours, it couldn't have gotten any longer, could 
it?

Go see it! I'm still in shock :-)
