In comparing it to the book, I can honestly say that it's as good, if not a slightly better experience. It tightens up the plot some, better explains some parts that were vague and visually creates the work in a way that the book couldn't. In addition to all that, it was wonderfully directly, fantastically shot, and had superb acting by everyone. The movie had no glaring weak points anywhere.
Seeing it in the theater on opening night was without a doubt the best way to have seen it. The showing we went to was about 1am in the morning and the theater was packed, the lobby buzzing with lines 20 people deep to all the concessions. Death Eaters, Gryffindors, and house elves wandered around everywhere. The HP passion was thick in the air and every scene was felt to the heart by everyone. It short, it was a wonderful show.

Can't wait to see it.....well, apparently I can seeing that I'm not running to the theatre today!
Glad you enjoyed it. And how was Michal's costume?

She wore the Gryffindor sweater and tie, and I wore the tie and cloak. We looked GREAT! Pictures soon to be posted.
All this week, one cable station here in Israel has been showing the entire Harry Potter movies from the beginning. It's truly exciting to see the characters growing in true life into their maturing roles. And it is amazing how the movies actually surpass the books in translating the written word into magical visions beyond one's imagination.
Great that you made the Opening Night, when the atmosphere is at its most electric! You both look marvelous in your Giyffindor outfits.
