This was by far the best Harry Potter movie yet. Although of course some details were ommitted, in a series this complex everything can not be included. Nothing that was cut was crucial to the plot, and as a hard core fan of the book I was not disapointed. There were scenes in which I was jumping and screaming one second and laughing the next. The balance between dark action and humor was well crafted. Overall, I definitely recommend it, even for people who aren't fans of the series, as this movie also managed to do the impossible: satisfy fans and be an excellent stand alone film!
Although I am usually a very picky movie goer when it comes to my favorite books, this Harry Potter film did not disappoint. It stuck to the plot of the book where it was important to, and also included little things that they could easily of cut, just to appease the loyal fans. Although some things were cut or changed, it did not detract from the overall value of the movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone, the acting was good, the plot moved well, and the way they balanced humor and darkness was, in short, brilliant!
