In a nutshell....

If you are not some type of Harry Potter mega fan, this should be a good movie to escape reality for a couple hours. Its got all the special effects and a decent plot to go along with for the ride. You shouldn't be disappointed, but it won't be one of those movies you will rave about for the next 2 weeks either. Get the popcorn, candy & soda and enjoy.

I start rating movies at a 5 and then go up or down from there. There is no such thing as a 10 and very hard to get to a 1. This movie is better than average but doesn't deliver enough on the plot to make it to a 7. FYI - the highest rated on IMDB is Shawshank Redemption at a 9.2.
