Harry Potter 7

The other part of taking the day off was seeing a movie (how easy is that these days)?  I think the New Yorker review summed up the movie the best: it was dull.  The only reason to see the movie is if you read all of the books and want to see how it was adapted.  This movie was not as bad as the first 2: the creative team did a passable job of shortening the text into an action movie.  If you've read the books, it all makes sense: I suspect that if have not, it is just like any other nonsensical string of action sequences.  I wish I had seen something else for my day off, and I'm surprised that it got decent reviews anywhere (except The New Yorker).  If this hadn't been a special outing for my day off I would have walked out...
