From the opening scene I was disappointed! This was one of the most detailed books of the series and so many major parts were left out. Learning all about Voldemort and his beginnings are crucial to the story and it was briefly shown in the movie. The fact that Snape is the Half Blood Prince and why was also missing. The most disappointing to me was the lack of drama surrounding Dumbledore's death!! Come on! Not even a funeral scene?! The man played a critical role thus far. I felt the whole movie was scattered and rushed. I was expecting so much more. I would not recommend seeing the movie but rather read the book!
