I have read the books and still I found this movie an absolute delight! The humor portrayed in the trials of young love really will endear the characters to any audience. While the movie does in my opinion, stray farther from the book than any prior movie, as Yates used creative license to create a new scene at Weasleys, also removing the new minister of magic... the ACTION in this movie was below what I expected especially considering the absence of final fight scenes at the school. Regardless... the mix of humor arguably makes this the best Potter Movie yet!
