I have enjoyed all the HP film series but this one is a little disappointing. I loved the book and I think it was just difficult to condense 650+ pages into a 2 1/2 hour screenplay and the nature of this story did not end on a huge triumph or climax like other HP films. More key passages were changed vs the other films as far as the story following the book. I would still recommend the film. Highlights of the film: Dumbledore's death ( Michael Gambon is an incredible actor), Prof. Slughorn, Lavender Brown with Ron, Hermione and Ron, Harry and Ginny, a troubled Malfoy and the Weasley's novelty shop. Also the sea cave scene is incredible.
