I love this movie. It helped not going back and reading the book before seeing it. I recommend doing this thus it does not disappoint the viewer. I loved that they ended the movie simialr to the book.
This movie was awesome. If you are an avid reader of the books, do not read up before going. Enjoy the movie first and then reread the book. I did the opposite for Half Blood Prince and was so disappointed.
Overall, I would rate this as in my top two of all the movies made.
Being an avid Harry Potter fan, I was so sadly disappointed by so many key factors that were altered from the book for the movie. (especially the ending, which is one of the key factors for Deathly Hallows) To me, the screenplay was not done well and this was by far my least favorite of the movies. Does anyone else out there, feel let down as well? I was so looking forward to this movie ( counting down the days unitl July 15th) only to leave unsatisfied. My hope is that the next installment will be better and stick more closely to the book.
