I haven't read this book since just before book 7 came out and I normally read them before seeing the movie. Through the last 5 movies I usually end up disappointed about something because things are changed or left out that I considered important. However with not having read the book this time I can saw with absolute certainty that this MOVIE was amazing. It was funny, serious, well put together, it looked great, and was overall entertaining. Now in regards to the BOOK I have been reminded that there were a couple of things added to the movie that weren't in the book and some things that were omitted.
