I have read every book and seen all the previous movies in the Harry Potter series. That being said, I know some people who were dissappointed in this movie because the book was better. Those people need to remember that the book is extensive and it is VERY hard to cram all of that excellence into a 2 1/2 hour time period, plus they need to appeal not only to the book's fans but also people who have not read the book. They did a great job in getting all of the main points from the book into the movie and it is a very enjoyable experience for the series' lovers and those that have not read the books. Well done! Entertaining, moving, and funny. It's the best movie of the summer BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
