If you can believe this....I personally have never seen a Harry Potter movie!! My oldest son loves the series and watches all of them.   So he help get me caught up for the review.  What I love is the imagination and adventure that come from the Harry Potter movies.  This is truely what holds the audience in my home.  Especially with my six and seven year old - they were glued to their seat!  This is a great series that the whole family can enjoy - and you don't find that very often!
