Saw it again tonight with my son, who was very upset that he missed the chance to see it Friday with us.

It's better in IMAX... it really, really is.
The second time, you notice more details... like the fact that the three polyjuice targets were not randomly chosen (well, at least two weren't).
To reiterate what Larry said, this movie is all about Hermione. Radcliffe has three emotional settings (angry, stoic, and crying). Grint has (been given?) the acting range of a stone, although he almost showed some emotion during the torture scene. Watson? By far the best of the movie.
Lucius Malfoy... how far they can fall. Almost too far, I think... absolutely no swagger left.
I pity the poor guy who left the theater after the final emotional scene with Dobby. He had to go to the bathroom... and literally peed away the final scene in the movie!
Still unsure what the heck the dancing scene was for.. other than to fill time
Best line, IMHO... "Dobby did *NOT* intend to kill! Dobby only intended to maim... or seriously injure..."
My son thought it sucked... because he doesn't want to wait until July for Part 2...

All in all, still excellent.
