Mark & I saw Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part I. We both enjoyed it; I wept during most of the movie. I thought (like the 5th movie) this one did a good job of introducing a lot of plot elements skipped in previous installments. The one thing I didn't like...or at least didn't understand is the shard of mirror that Harry keeps with him. In the books it's part of a mirror that Sirius gave him but in the movies that event never happened and they don't explain it here; hopefully it comes up in the final film, and if so then this will be my favorite movie of the series to this point.

Here's how I'd rate the movies best to worst:

01 Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part I
02 Harry potter & the Order of the Phoenix
03 Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
04 Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince
05 Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets
06 Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone
07 Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban

'Azkaban' is a good movie but a weak link in the chain of films as it's HORRIBLE adaptation. It the best of the first 3 films if you've not read the books but they cut out everything that's good about the story and add all kinds of things that are just sort of pointless.
