Absolutely brilliant!
I have enjoyed the four previous films (particularly the fourth) but I always left the cinema feeling that there was something missing, something forced about the acting and something about the films that didn't capture the magic and brilliance of the books.
This film had my heart racing all the way through it, I was smiling, laughing, crying and terrified all at once. This film captured what the books were all about and I would say for once that the film was as good as the book.
I particularly loved the way they captured Umbridge, she was everything that I imagined when I read the book. I loved the ending too, it was extremely impressive with the death eaters in black smoke and the aurors in white. I think that the previous films all had parts that were specifically for us fans and not so relevant to the story, but that this film flowed a lot better and went from exciting to more exciting with every frame. Well done Yates, finally a true Harry Potter fan is directing the films. Could not have been better! :-) I'm so happi!
