Having seen all the other Harry Potter Movies, I personally feel that this particular production was very well made. I've read all the books at least twice and am very pleased at how the movie (at least for myself) captured the essence of the book.
I am aware that there are some parts of the book that had to be either cut or changed to adapt to a 2.5 hour film but even with these changes and cuts, I thought the movie was not only exciting to watch with some dramatic, action-packed, and even comedic moments, there was continuity.
The ending of the movie left me with a sense of anticipation of part 2. I would say that the movie gave me a sense of satisfaction that all through the movie I could recognize what parts of the book I remember reading.
