This is the first time I've really liked the movie version of the HP series with this new director. It was almost completely straight from the book... and the parts that were "Hollywood-ized" were quite entertaining and did not take away from the main story. Of course there were things that didn't make the movie cut or were re-arranged to come across better in the movie, but that it to be expected. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the final movie:)
