Just saw the HP movie in Imax 3-D with the youngest and dh; we thought it so odd that it is advertised 3-D in selected parts (!) which translates into the opening ten minutes and that is it even though so much more would have been terrific in 3-D. Why did they even bother. Largest ick factor - they took our glasses back at the end - and put them back in a communal basket. Ew. Plus for the money we should have had jewel embedded ones.
I have read criticism that the movie offers no back story for people who have never read any HP books or seen the other movies - but apart from the creepy weird guy who was being good at being creepy and weird and then snored loudly from mid-movie on, I imagine most other viewers are long time fans.
My oldest son said the movie was visually stunning and he was right. It is not a film for younger children, but for those who have grown up with the books (and adults who love dipping into the world of Potter) it will resonate.

Glad you enjoyed it - I thought it was fantastic myself. And for those who haven't read the books - why NOT!? :-)
Sorry about the icky glasses!
