I would only recommend seeing this movie, as if you've read the books it's a must. I was however, thoroughly dissappointed. What they did according to book was great. But what they left out was important. SPOILER: no funeral for Professor Dumbledore? A fire at the Weasley home? How on earth are they going to introduce what happens in book 7 (which is the beginning of the book). They spent too much time of the young love goings on, and not enough of all the excursions Dumbledore takes Harry on, Fred & George's shop, the rise and fall of the previous Minister of Magic and no introduction of the new one. I hope they get it right in the last two movies.
