Awesome job at staying true to the novel. The movie causes you to gasp in many places due to the abruptness of the action which gives a 3D effect without the glasses.There were some things they didn't keep in or shortened but nothing major, in my opinion. (spoiler alert) I disagreed with the choice to not show the scene of goodbye in more detail between Harry and the Dursleys. It would have added to the tone of melancholy the director was trying to produce in 5 or less minutes. I was not surprised by where they chose to end things and in fact, I thought it was masterfully done. The acting was stellar, you can really see the maturing that has taken place between all three of the main characters. I was pleased to see as well that Ralph Fiennes scene wasn't cut and that they kept alot of that beginning tension in the scene where Snape arrives at the Malfoy residence. GO SEE IT!! IT ROCKS! I'm going again and again...
