This movie was the best harry potter film that has hit the scene. The film focused on the book better than the last two. Every one expects the movie to be exactly like the book. It's impossible. Things must be taken out to insure good timing and less confusion. The only big things that were not in the movie was Dobby the house elf (him finding the room of requirement) and when harry went into the department of mysteries (there were a lot of rooms that were in the book but not in the movie); there was also no Quidditch and the setting was twisted in some places. But I must say that even though there were many book facts left out, it did not do as nearly as much damage to the book as the Goblet of Fire did(Goblet of Fire movie was the worst out of the series). Other than that the movie was quite amazing and entertaining. I would say the battle between Dumbledore and Voldermort was a the greatest part of the movie. Warner Bros. really out did themselves with this soon to be classic.

Even though I read the book and knew what was going to happen I was still on the edge of my seat most of the movie!

I liked this movie, but I felt it was long and boring at some parts..

David Yates is a brilliant director, as shown in this new Harry Potter movie. He picked up the pieces, left by three other directors and made a fabulous film that (in my opinion) is the best Potter film yet. The death eaters were frightening, the acting was more realistic, and the story made sense. Even if you had never read the book, you still would have known what was going on. This movie has you hooked through the whole thing and never leaves you thinking "huh? what was that supposed to be?" like some of the other films. This being said, you still have to remember that this is a movie based off of a book (the longest book in the Potter series), so of course it leaves things out. I am a very big Harry Potter fan, but I was not disappointed with the things Yates chose to leave out. This is the only Potter film that follows the theme of the book so well that you don't need to know every detail of the book in order to follow the plot of the movie.

If you want every word and every scene on the screen; all the HP movies would be between 5-15 hours long. Think of the movie as yet another kind of telling of this story. There is the book and there is a movie; never shall the two be equal. ........For a movie of HP, it was wonderfully enjoyable. Fast, smart, the important characters were given time to develop. I felt like the school was real and the students felt like actual teenagers. ....The movie is just one version of the story of HP. They did not destory the book. You can read the story and enjoy it all over again.
