This movie was in a way a great display of the Harry Potter Characters and the friendships they share with one another. But overall....WAY too much teenage "love affairs" were focused on. If I wanted to see a check flick, I'd go somewhere else. They left out a lot of keys points that were in the book and that disappointed me. I will say, however, that there were some very good moments in the movie that displayed the the kind of story line Rowling's was going for. If you are really into the books like I am, you'll be disappointed with the movie thou.
