Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Okay, so this actually more of a movie review. On Friday morning I went to see the move (Part 1), and then I read the entire book over the weekend, finishing last night. Normally I would have reread the book prior to seeing the movie, but this time I just wanted to experience the movie, and then read the book again to see what might have been different.

I have to say, the movie held very true to the book. They changed some things from narrative to action, and the kids didn't spend nearly as much time in Grimmauld Place in the movie as they did in the book, but for the most part they kept almost everything. I guess that's why the movie was 140 minutes long or so. But it was definitely not too long, and they ended it at a good place.

Based on my reading the whole novel, I think most of Part 2 will be the final battle at Hogwarts. And that will make for a very exciting and action-packed movie.
