When I saw the first commercial for this show, my interest was piqued. I admit it, I've always been interested in this type of storyline. not exactly "feel good" subjects, but fascinating nonetheless. But then I remembered the network this show is on. It's not bad in and of itself, but when I look at The Secret Life of the American Teenager -- another show I thought had an intriguing plot but was ruined quickly with horrible acting and unrealistic story lines -- and I got a little bit leery.
I was mistaken, and I'm glad I was.
This series shows promise, like a previous reviewer said. The cast is great (I love Vanessa Marano and Lea Thompson, so right there I was sold). The premise is fascinating, and the acting is GOOD. I'm actually really surprised this wasn't pitched at a network/that a network didn't pick it up, because it has a lot of potential. I hope it stays this good.

I saw the midnight release of the film, sacrificing my sleep for the night. I rarely pay full price for movies anymore, instead opting for our town's dollar theater or our 2 main chain's cheaper times, but I paid full price for this one and I would do it again.
I was captivated from beginning to end. I won't go into too much detail about the plot or performances; many other reviewers have already done that, and I don't feel qualified as I'm not some kind of "movie buff." I will, however tell you that you won't be disappointed. Yates has managed to turn a very dark, twisty novel into a fabulous, dark and twisty adventure. You can feel the sense of urgency in this film. You get the idea that this is a mission with a deadline.
They cut it perfectly, too. Yates and the crew left us desperately wanting more and desiring to see the fate of the Potter world. I can't wait till next summer when I plan on sacrificing $10 and most of my night of sleep again to see it first.
