Overall the movie was only O.K. I feel that a lot of the book was left out for some reason (time constraints?...). It seemed that the director focused on too much of the non-important issues and left out some of the biggest, like the battle at Hogworts at the end of the book. I wonder how they are going to resolve those issues in the next movie. I would recommend the movie, but only to those who did not read the book. Anyone who read the book will probably be disappointed. Even with all that, I will probably still buy the movie to keep my collection complete. The books are sooo much better. I recommend that you read the books to really see what you missed in the movies.
