While the movie does not stay entirely true to the book, with there being fabricated scenes, it still captivates the audience. Being a fan of both the books and the movies, I found myself perfectly content with the good balance of humor and emotional scenes. The transitions were perfect, and surprisingly, we get a lot more scenes with Draco Malfoy, which I assumed they would shorten. The scenes of happiness transitioning to Harry's grave visits with Dumbledore worked perfectly, and I almost wished the movie was much longer. It didn't feel like a two and a half hour movie.
I saw this movie with my sister last night, and I absolutely LOVED it. While some of the concert scenes got a little repetitive, I still was having fun clapping and singing along in the theatre. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that went to the Burnin' Up Concert this summer, AND those who didn't. It's incredible. I literally felt like I had the best seat in the world.
