Yeah, DH and I got a chance to go. Sunday matinees are the way to go. It was not crowded at all. I really liked it. I think we will go back again this week.

My hubby is in Nashville, TN this week. He saw it at an IMAX theater in 3-D. Said it was phenomenal (and we saw it at midnight opening day)...Looks like I'll be heading up to Indianapolis to see it this weekend!

I'm in Nashville as well & I have to agree that the IMAX 3-D was AMAZING! I do wish they would not have cut as much out though.

The movie felt rushed, and the effort felt unenthusiastic to me. Like they were just banging out the scenes and getting it over with. I didn't feel the same kind of (pardon the lame phrasing here) "magic" that the other films had.

I am always surprised at how much the kids change through the years as each new movie comes out. I didn't even recognize Dudley. And for crap's sake, Fred and George are going to be like 40 by the time the series is over! Ok, not 40, but they are looking more than a bit too old for Hogwarts.

I've seen it and it was just like what I expected. I don't follow the books, so I was impressed with the movie. I love all HP movies.

I'm a purist, and I didn't like the changes. Some where made just for the sake of change, and not because of neccessity. For example, why is Cho the tattler? It was her friend, not her. How would making it true to the book, in that instance, made the book longer? The only thing I can figure is that was a quick way to break her and Harry up without adding more scenes to explain a breakup.

Does anyone else think Hermoine is the worst actress in the world?

Because in order to keep Marietta as the snitch, the movie would have had to introduce her as a character, and audiences NOT familiar w/the book would have been left scratching their heads.

I understand, but it would have literally taken two seconds during one of the scenes where they are practicing for Harry to say "Great job, Marietta!" and then we would know how she is.

What I don't understand is why this was the shortest movie yet the longest book. I would have loved it to be longer... lots of good stuff was cut.

I read an article that said that they wanted to cut Kreacher, and JKR insisted they include him, saying they would regret it because he comes into play majorly in this next book.

If you have the opportunity to see this in IMAX 3-D, I couldn't suggest it more highly. I mentioned that I had seen this on openining night, but had I seen this opening night in 3-D, I'm pretty sure my head would've exploded from the awesomeness LOL! I had a headache from it initially, but it's absoulutely amazing!!!

Psh I wish the whole thing was in 3-d, but about 20-30 minutes of it is in 3-d. If you've seen the non 3-d version, it begins when the kids ride the thestrals (spell?) to the Ministry of Magic and ends at the end of the big fight scene about 5 minutes before the end of the movie.

I haven't seen a 3-d flick in about 20 years (I'm 29, mind you), and this BLEW away any 3-d crap I saw as a kid.

It's $12.50 where I live, but I'd see it again w/o question. Plus, because you're paying the extra $4 (at least where I live, it's $8.50 for a regular movie) not to watch ANY commercials or trailers. That alone is worth seeing ANY movie in IMAX, imho.

I really didn't enjoy it...the third one was the absolute worst in my opinion but the second is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I haven't even read the book. I just thought it was boring.
