With the HP movies I try to take them as a different piece of work than the books. It was really hard for me with this movie because a lot was left out. I understand they have to cut some things out so the movie isn't 6 hours long but I think that they leave out a lot of important information pertinent to the story. I think that this made the movie a little choppy and it would be hard for somebody who didn't read the books to understand the whole story line. The humor was excellent! The FX were good. They just needed a little more time on the important stuff rather than the silly stuff.
