The sets were the best yet, and the film stayed pretty close to the book for the most part. We were disappointed, however, with the lack of energy in the film, the unnecessary addition of the attack on the burrow which took time that could have been used to avoid eliminating so many key scenes from the book. Why leave out what's in the book and add things that weren't? We also thought it was a mistake to anticipate the revelations about Snape, that don't show up until the last book, and start softening his character in this movie. Fans will enjoy the sets and seeing the characters again, but overall, it was a disappointment.
