Harry Potter was very good. While all the movies have been well done, this one I think stands out as a really good movie beyond its Harry Potter franchise. The director spends much less time showing us the wonders of magic (moving stairwells, talking pictures, ghosts, etc) and more time focusing on the characters and the story. The effects are of course top notch. I haven't read any of the Potter books myself, but my wife indicates that while this movie doesn't change anything, it does completely gloss over some aspects of the story--emphasizing the adventure over the brooding "it sucks to be Harry" mood.
The action is good and the overall plot is engaging.
