A second viewing of this movie was just as pleasurable as the first.* Unlike other HP movies in the franchise (ahem Sorcerer’s Stone, ahem) this was quite crackling in its pacing. It helps also that I have only read the book once and that was four years ago, so I’ve forgotten many of the small (and main) details.

*meaning when it came out in the theaters.
Some people didn't like all of the running and brooding and found this to be a boring movie. I disagree. It fits well with the book and sets us up well for the end.
I agree. I was amazed at how I didn't get board, due to the fact that mostly mope around for a good chunk of that book. It's appropriate moping, don't get me wrong, but I remember thinking, "How's this going to come off in the movie?"
