Yes.

Just saw "HP" yesterday with my 11-year old daughter. I thought its pacing was much better than "Sourcer's Stone," which seemed dramatically "flat." I was not conscious of its length, except for the fact that, before the film, I had imbibed a "grande" Starbucks coffee, with the usual and predictable result -- and didn't want to leave the film before the end.

I'm not sure what expectations people bring to a film like this. Mine are simply to be entertained -- and, on that level, I was satisfied.

I have to say, that I'm not sure I liked this computer-generated elf any better than Jar-Jar Binks. Somehow, it seemed to have been generated by the same program, with the same repertory of expressions, ear movements and so own. At least the ersatz Jamacian patois was omitted!
