This was the best Harry Potter yet. There were some great parts in the book that got skipped in the movie - but you can't have a 6 hour film, either. I thought they did an excellent job getting the point of the story across without being bound to the novel. The new scenes did a lovely job carrying the tale where it needs to be to start the Deathly Hallows. And I really enjoyed having a few things in the movie that I didn't see coming.
