Whilst the books are entertaining, they're the literary equivalent of candy floss: enjoyable, but bad for you in large doses, made of artificially coloured spun sugar and sold by gypsies (no, wait, forget the last couple). That's why, IMO, they translate well into film; they're mainly plot, while the characters are so two-dimensional that they make Dick Dastardly look like a complex, multi-faceted individual with interesting psychological development. Accordingly, Daniel Radcliffe could be out-acted by a cardboard cut-out of William Shatner. Still, all the films were pretty god apart from the last one, which would have been more accurately titled as 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Hormonal Angst', or 'Harry Potter and the Unused Condom'.
This film looks to be much better, but, as people have said, the decision to split the last book into two films will likely mean that there'll be more padding than on David Icke's bedroom walls.
This was pant-wettingly funny.
