My kids thought it was the best so far, as well. The part about Harry whining, though, was even more pronounced in the book. He was just a twit sometimes! But, he's a teenager who feels put upon, who among us hasn't had one of those, even in the best of kids!

My only beef with the movie was the set design for the Department of Mysteries. I didn't like the black tiled walls and floors. I guess I would have preferred an 'old building' look like the lobby with its wide plank wood floors and stately fireplaces; more of a 'shabby elegance'.

You are so right about the sets! What gets me is that the Ministry is so thoroughly described in the books, right down to the torch brackets, and the set designers got it completely wrong! So much for creating atmosphere.

My son’s almost 15... Daniel Radcliffe certainly managed to portray his character’s age properly.

What I wouldn’t give sometime to be able to use duct tape....

I haven’t seen the movie yet, hope to soon, but from what I have seen on the trailers only LUcius and Bellatrix show up for the fight. Is that the case? Because I would have loved for them to show the whole fight scene like the book, especially where the death eater gets his head stuck in the time turner and his head goes from being a baby’s head to a full grown head. That would have been funny to see.
