The actors were great, but limited by the way the screen writers hacked up the story. There are so many missing parts that even somone like me, who has read the books several times, can get lost. What happened to the funeral? And Harry didn't react to Dumbledore's death because he was under the invisibility cloak and frozen by Dumbledore. What happened to that part of the scene? The books are so well written that it is a shame the screen writers feel the need to change the content. Sure the movie is long, but those of us who are true fans would spend another 30 minutes to get at least some of the more important scenes picked back up from the cutting floor and reattached! Hope that they include them on the extended cut version! Can't wait.
