As an avid fan of the books and movies, I was a bit dissapointed in what was not in the movie, however, it was visually satisfying in that the actors gave a great face to the characters in the book. They always make them so real. I think that's why I look forward to the movies so much. I was most dissapointed that Dumbeldor's funeral was not acted out. I would have loved to have seen that and hope that some reference to it is in the final two movies. I would recommend seeing the movie if for no other reason than to give a face to the story. I would highly recommend reading the book too, it is much richer than the movie story would suggest. Enjoy both!
