die hard fans of the books might not agree. there are some scenes that are missing and some that are given more importance than necessary. There is a moment in the final scenes where Harry and Hermione are talking about one thing and then totally out of the blue, they switch topics to something else, and that left me with a 'rushed' feeling. Remember that the final part of this series is going to be two movies. Maybe they are planning to bulk up the content of those two movies with things that were 'rushed' in this one. It's a good movie, there's some laughs, some gasps, some good effects... Worth watching on the big screen!
