Yes, there are elements from the book that I miss, but all in all, Steve Kloves did an excellent job adapting this 600+ page book to the big screen- David Yates did an amazing job directing- it flowed very well. I loved the humor and the foreshadowing of things to come. The photography was beautiful- especially the quiddich match and the death eaters in London. We are so comfortable with these characters now, and you can sense it on screen. Definately a must see this summer!
