I am a bit disappointed in David Yates' translation of the HBP into film. Yates has taken unnecessary journeys away from story and has failed to capture scenes necessary to bring the important plot lines to the screen.
The HBP is beautifully filmed. The dark mood of the story is captured in the tones and colors of the production. Watson is great. Radcliffe and Grint also show some nice work. Felton does a nice job as the young death eater.
Fans of the books will follow the story without much trouble,though the uninitiated may need some help.
If you were waiting for the big battle scene at the end of the book, you will be disappointed.
It is a fun film for fans. Probably not what you were hoping for, but a good effort.
