Actually, my sister and I (who have both read the books) went to the
midnight show on Thursday with our two best friends (who have not read the
books, but they have seen the previous two movies) and our friends liked it
more than we did.  With POA being my favorite book I thought it was good,
but I don't think I would have been overly thrilled with any version of the
movie (I'm very protective of that book for some reason), but my sister
thought it was 'ok' and our friends were both like 'It was REALLY good' and
they understood what was going on.

But with each movie I've watched thinking that people who have never read
the books would never understand what is going on, but they always do.  My
brother, my dad, my mom and my two friends have never read the books and
understand what is happening in the movies (my sister and I ask them A LOT
of questions to make sure.  :-)).  I don't know, I think I always think that
they won't understand, because I keep thinking that important plot moments
from the book are excluded from the movies and make it more confusing; and
maybe since that throws me off I'm missing the replacements that they put
into the movie. (if that makes any sense).
