Another solid entry to the Harry Potter franchise, and the most dedicated to the text it comes from so far. Sure, some things are cut are marginalized, but that's to be expected with every book-to-screen transition. What David Yates continues to do so well in this franchise is getting the characters of Harry, Ron, and Hermione more than just their literary counterparts, and with this film, it's his best yet. When I read this book, it was so exciting to read it never really hit me just how troubled our heroes are and how outmatched they are, and Yates brings this to life brilliantly. I do fear it may not appeal to the non-book reading audience, and in the end it may well best be viewed with part 2 right behind it. Still, the franchise is full steam ahead for it's conclusion next year.
