Leaves you wanting more

In every movie based on a book I see, I expect there to be parts missing or changed up. That is exactly what we get with this movie. Most of the changes that they made were tolerable.... The way Hedwig dies for example, and them going into detail about Hermione obliviating her parents.
I was really upset about how Hermoine and Harry enter Godric's Hollow. They are supposed to use the polyjuice potion, and they don't. They never once use the invisibility cloak in the movie and that is supposed to be one of the Deathly Hallows! They don't show Wormtail's hand killing him, or the radio program that supports Harry. They don't talk about how Voldermort's name is taboo, or show the semi-sweet goodbye with Harry and the Dursley's... Lots of other things were left out. Some that I feel were critical to the story, and some I feel were just an added bonus while reading.
It seemed in certain spots to jump to a different part without explaining how they got there. If you haven't read the books, you will be lost. I went with a group of friends. 2 had read the books and 2 had not (including my husband) and we 3 that read the books actually enjoyed the movie. My husband and our other friend were bored throughout the whole thing.
I love these movies! Regardless of what they leave out. I just wish in this one that they would have thought a little more before leaving things out or changing them. They ended it at a good spot, and they definitely leave you wanting more! I can't wait for Part 2!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
