As a fan of the Harry Potter series, both books and movies, I was very disappointed in the HBP film. While the movie is packed with high action scenes, great plots and lots of comedy, it takes too many turns away from the actual story line. The film is a great movie if you are a fan of the movie series and not the books. If you are, like me, in love with the original stories of JK Rowling, you will leave the theater a little unhappy. You would know that there is too much information that is essential to the plot that was not included in the film. All in all, this could be a five star film for the Harry Potter movie lovers, but I see it as a slap in the face to its real fans.
