We get to view personality and depth more of the characters in their quieter moments and this film did a pretty good job in it. I think it ranks on the top for me and I cannot wait to see Part 2 to see how it fairs.

What really impressed me about it was that it was word for word from the book, and it didn't feel too rushed, or packed together at the last minute. It made us feel like we were reading it right off the pages it was origianlly printed on:) I also agree that this movie gets you even more hyped up for Part II. I can hardly wait for next summer to see how David Yates pulls off the ending to one of the most successful, most well-directed, well-written, well-acted, and, most importantly, well-adapted franchises in cimematic history!
