The Pacing of the Movie
In terms of keeping my interest, this movie does it the best. There was not one moment that I wasn't entranced in the movie. Yes, there are a few slow parts but they are few and far inbetween. Part of which leads to this fast pacing is the fact that Part 1 (and the rest of the series) help the audience prepare for this movie.
Loyalty to the Book
There were some changes from the book that I didn't like (why the Elder Wand was destroyed and the leaving out of the subplot where Harry Potter doesn't trust Dumbledore). However, it is still an enjoyable film even while looking at what was left out or changed.
Death Count in this Movie Goes Way Up
This Harry Potter film takes the cake for death counts. In Gringotts six or seven intelligent magical beings die. Go on to Hogwarts and the death count is raised even more. While that might sound depressing, a bunch of deaths aren't showed on screen. However, I still wouldn't take a little kid to see this movie.
Final Thoughts
I highly enjoyed this movie and was sad to see it end after all this time. There are a bunch of twists and turns in this movie that are very intriguing. One of these twists is about Severus Snape (which explains why he is my favorite character in the series). If you aren't a Harry Potter fan (or haven't seen any of the other movies) this movie probably won't be as good to you. This is due to the fact that the movie hardly takes any time to fill new people in to what is happening.
