• There were definitely ups and downs throughout the two parts, with it taking a while to get going.
• In some parts it was a bit too theatrical for me (I know, it’s the theatre).
• Some scenes from the film were acted out, but with a different tone and feel, even with some different characters in scenes.
• The actors that played the main characters didn’t look the same as the film characters, which through me off a bit. For example, Dumbledore was quite short and tubby, Snape had a long face, Hermione had changed race, and Ron was tall and lanky, along with having a bit of a cockney accent.
• Right at the end of the first part, I could sense that the story could be going somewhere good.
• The second part was much better, although I felt that it ended rather abruptly.
• Some parts of the story seemed rushed. As in one school year could have been missed with a toilet break.

Overall, I think that it was good. Maybe if I enjoyed the theatre more, then I would have liked the theatrical quirks, but they were lost on me.
