[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it in NYC but I would think carefully spending the money to take younger elementary kids.  It's VERY wordy and since they combined two shows into one, things happen quickly and can be hard to follow.  I definitely wouldn't go if they don't have a big understanding of HP and even then, I'd probably save it until they're older (the show recommends age 8 and up; I'd say 9 or 10.)

I agree with this perspective and the one above.  We saw it in DC a few weeks ago - I have 9yo twins; one is a big HP fan and the other one not as much.  My not-HP fan was a little antsy and whiny at first because they had a hard time understanding and following the dialogue (accents and pace), but once the story picked up, they were into it (though they probably didn't get a lot of the book/story references).  My HP fan LOVED it.  The special effects were really cool.  Overall, we enjoyed it but you'll want to seriously weigh your kids' interest and patience (it's about 3 hours including the intermission).       [/quote]
