I have seen every HP movie in the theater and haven't read any of the books, So since I follow from the movie perspective I have to say I was a little disappointed in this one. It was good, but it missed the epic battles that I looked fwd. to the teenage aspects were good, w/funny and sad moments. But I was that spooked this time around except when they are getting the Horcrex. A couple of things felt rushed or skipped, and of course made sense after I asked someone who read the book. It was good...could've been better.
