That animation was fantastic, I thought it'd be cheesy but Watson's narration actually worked with it well. When it cut to the characters again I was disappointed.
I thought the film was good. It relied quite a great deal on emotion, something it lacked a great deal of, and some of Daniel Radcliffe's (sp?) acting was dubious, but nothing too jarring. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and will definitely be seeing part 2, as will evrywun eva maid.
I'm tempted to read some of the HP books again/the series just because I was rather young when I first read them and would like a second review opportunity. I actually think they're superb though. The fact that there's better literature around counts for shit in my eyes, I think the thing is well done. The ending book was weak, but it doesn't prevent the others from being thrilling reads.
