I feel that the movie followed the book fairly well. Some things were changed and others left out, but the overall feel and message of the book was well played out. It was good to see the bond between Harry and Hermione being strengthened. The Drama of the ending left an empty spot and had it followed the story, it might have given some closure but, I assume these things will be covered in the next movie. It is great to see all of the characters grow and change.
