I am a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter books and movies. I have read every book, seen every movie, and own every DVD. Therefore I'm giving it 2 stars because it would break my heart to give it only 1 (like it deserves).
HP and the HBP was a good book and filled in some missing information, which is why this movie was so disappointing to me. I know movies are typically not as good as the books they're based on but this was particularly bad. There was waaaaayyy too much time spent on the giggling awkwardness of teenage love and not enough on the meat of the story. The most exciting scene lasted about 5 minutes and still left out parts. There were also obvious editing errors.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the next 2movie will be better.
