I've seen the movie 3 times. It was a very good film. However, I was taken aback by the direction the movie took. There were some big differences from pen to screen. I do understand that with a book of that magnitude you cannot include every event, however I think one crucial scene was omitted-the battle at the end sets the tone for things to come. The wizard world is becoming dangerous and Hogwarts is no longer safe. Leaving the theater all 3 times, that was the criticism heard by viewers. Many are wondering if the next one/s are going to be watered down (PG) as well. It needed more action. The ending was weak, as are other HP movies. That taken into account, it is a movie worth seeing. I am hoping the next book is done justice.
