Yeah, I'm old enough to be an adult and I caught the midnight premiere and then took off from work Friday to enjoy another viewing with some goobers my age before school let out and the kids swamped the theaters this weekend.
Loved the movie. The acting was better. It wasn't the 3rd movie and that alone gave it a leg up (Cuaron's version just blew). They were cutting out parts and redirecting dialog to other characters to make sure the audience gets to hear the important parts and thats understandable given the volume they had to get on the screen in 2+ hours. It was noticeable to someone who's read the books several times but as a standalone movie or for anyone who hasn't read the books I think this movie fits well and is a good version of Rowling's storyline. I didn't feel too "hit over the head" with things that may have been more subtle in the books except Hermione's comment to Ron after the ball; that piece seemed just a little overdone in regards to setting up the "love interest" that won't even come into bloom for 2 more movies yet.

originally the studio had planned to break the film up into 2 movies since the book was so long (i wish they had) but the director said nah.
I will forgive him though, purely because he is a different guy from that last moron who did the 3rd book.
I havent seen it yet, i watched the making of last night on a&e and it seems worlds better than that last big of crap. I hope so, triwizards is my favorite book of the series. |

| As others have said, they cut a whole lot of stuff out. I think that if I hadn't read the books, I may have been lost. The books contain a lot of background info early on that plays out later. The movie strips out most of the background. Some scenes are completely different than the book. The special effects are great, and the scene that made book 4 my favorite was, thankfully, played out excatly as I pictured it while reading. All in all, an okay movie. I watched the first three movies before I ever read the six books. My kids always told me that the books were so much better, and they aren't wrong. |

Okay, which scene are you talking about? I know the graveyard scene was exactly as I pictured it, hence my tears which embarassed my daughters but I don't care!

My three complaints (I saw it last night with the significant other at 10:40PM):
1) They cut a lot out of the books
2) Whatever the guy's name is who replaced Richard Harris, he isn't worthy of replacing Richard Harris
3) The special effects seemed rather rushed through and not up to par of some of the former movies.
Also, was I the only one that noticed the exceeding amount of innuendo? |

My daughter said she has read through the goblet of fire and part way into the half blood prince but she denied that Herminoe and Ron were headed toward a romantic involvement yet there was the emotional scene about Ron not inviting her to the dance.
So Ron and Hermione do pair off at some point in the future? Wow, never saw that one coming. I figured she would lean toward someone more intellectual. |

Any other 'adult' fans? |
The film is good but might be a little dark for a 7 year old? |

Define Dark.
Lord Voldemort? The dragons? Fangy Mermaids?
No problems with it. |

That's the one. Now, if they can do the Ministry of Magic scene in the fifth movie just like the book, it should be good. |

Sexual inuendo? Didn't see any of that.
Images of evil are in the parking lot of the grocery store. If you would like to further question my ethics please feel free to PM me.
Death? Death is a part of life. |

a 7 year old doesn't read into things the way a sexually frustrated adult does.
I am of the age that i when simpsons first started i was 7-8. I grew up with them. Watched them from the very beginning. As i got into my early-mid teens, i started thinking oh, simpsons has gotten a bit naughty nowadays. My youngest sibling is by 9 years, and he has been a simpsons fan since he would watch television, so we would watch old reruns with him all the time. The ones i watchd when i was 8.
Low and behold. Simpsons hadn't gotten "naughty", my mind had just developed to "get" jokes that previously flew by me.
That said, it is a film in which the focal point at TEENAGERS. If you don't believe teens are driven by hormonal angst, you need to clicking over to 'the N' and cashing in your reality check. Or you could just come visit my town and meet some teenage mothers. |

And of course you know nothing about that, right? :o)
I think it depends on the child though. I woulnd't take my daughter because she's so socially advanced, she notices and thinks about stuff that just doesn't seem like she should have recognized. Not that I'm saying she knows about sex, but at the rate she picks up stuff, especially un-desireably imatative behaviors, we keep a close eye on everything she watches.
And then there's the things that she had no clue what they mean, but she repeats them anyways. Just because she doesen't know what the F work means, doesn't mean I'm going to let her watch something with that word in it, much less say it.

That being said, I'll probably let her watch the rest of the Harry Potter series after she's 7. But I feel like keeping her more innocent for a while, she probably wouldn't watch it if I let her, she hates anything scary, and Harry is always good for that.
