A few of the Midwesterners lucky enough to see it have posted their early reviews online.

Hit the jump to get a sense of their collective response to the screening.

(Be warned of spoilers, naturally.)

That said, here are excerpts from the early looks that have hit the web.

First, it faithfully adapts the seventh book, including the books own problems.

MuggleNet reader Gaby:

This film felt very perfect.

I don’t remember feeling this satisfied with a Harry Potter movie since Chamber of Secrets.

I cannot wait to see this movie again.

It’s going to be spectacular and even more perfect.

To believe that this is just Part 1 is crazy.

MuggleNet reader Kyle:

First off, this is the most perfect Harry Potter film ever.

The movie on a whole is amazing and dark.

Everyone was on top of their game.

Dobby’s death was done perfectly.

You could see the emotion in Harry and the gang.

The audience LOVED Dobby.

Everyone was clapping when we saw him.

I’m a bit late to the Potter scene, but I’ll have Book 7 finished by November.
