Growing pains
Saw the new Harry Potter as part of Helen's birthday bash. I was disappointed. The first hour or so is entertaining, but not focused or driven. It just feels like you're drifting.
The second half is much better though, and redeems the first quite admirably. I like the focus of the first couple movies better, but like the dark tone in Goblet of Fire.
Not sure where it ranks, either 2nd, behind Azkaban, or fourth, behind all the others.
That said, the ending might be my favorite half-hour of Potter... about as highly as I regard the end of Azkaban.
I'm planning on finally reading the books during my retreat to Colorado this winter. Should be nice.
