Sorry to say that contrary to what people are saying, it was NOT the best movie so far. While I realize that all parts of the book can't make it into a movie, it seems that the director could have added a little more. The beginning was disjointed with not one iota of buildup. Only a 15 second blurb regarding the title of the movie? Really? No funeral? Come on!! The big fight scene in the school? Nothing?!?! Even the romance was lousy. The only characters who were worth watching were Ron and Malfoy. I am glad I watched it, but I would have prefered a longer movie that focused on the important aspects of the book. Maybe the director's cut will be better, but I am not holding my breath.
