I thought that the movie was pretty good just as a movie. Some parts seemed as though they were trying too hard to make it funny, and the part in the beginning-middle where hermione harry and ron laugh, hermione's laugh looks completley fake, but over all, the movie was good, but just as a movie. As a partner to the beloved books that I myself have read at least six times each, I felt that it fell short. The sixth book is one of my favorites, and I felt as though some aspects of it were not explained thoroughly for people who have not read the books, and as though some aspects were not conveyed the way I wanted them to be and the way I, and others, felt while reading the book.
