Potter 7 a Minor Disappointment

Harry Potter and the Derathly Hallows Part 1 is a very different kind of movie from any of the Harry Potter films that precede it. There are no scenes set at Hogwarts, and many familiar characters are only on screne for a few seconds or not at all. Of course this is expected by those who read the book, but can come as a disappointment to those who know only the films.
I, having read the book, was disappointed in the opening that the filmakers could not take 30 seconds to show the touching "good bye" scene with the Dursley's. I was disappointed that the filmakers had to resort to the tired and nausiating hollywood gimik of using a handheld camera during the chase through the woods with quick cuts so you can't even follow whats happening. Why do you hollywood morons think this makes the viewer feel part of the action when all it does is make us sick and robbed. And finally, I was disappointed at the final scene when the filmakers failed to explain whose house the main characters were burying Dobby at. The filmaker couldn't add 2 more characters to the scene to clear that up?
Of course, HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, is a film most die hard fans will blindly love. But just as with the previous film, many fans of the beloved first 5 films will be disappointed with this installment, as they were with the previous.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
