I know they have to leave stuff out...I get that. But I hate it when they change the scenes they do leave in. Overall, the movie entertained, very charming and it is always enjoyable to watch the characters come to life. If you read the books, you can visualize what they don't put in. BUT..if you have never read them, you are left confused and maybe a little dissapointed. I can only think that the director, etc filmed the movie hoping that 99% of the people who will see it read the books. But in the end it was worth it and I am looking forward to the next one already!!
