I haven't read the books - which didn't help - but I do hear about the series continually from nieces and nephews. I have to agree with those above who didn't like it. Certainly not compared to the previous films. Abrupt cuts, too much time in some areas and nowhere near enough in others. We took my brother's kids and they were complaining about it nonstop. Not a good sign. The Potter version of SW episode 2 or Godfather 3?
