I could not have been more disappointed. What should have been a serious film was a comedy and teenage romance that invoked comedy when it should have been absent--i.e. at the end of the movie when Hermione starts to talk about Harry and Ginny's relationship in the middle of what had been a serious conversation about the future. The plot too was poorly constructed as it simply skipped over both significant portions and small details. Parts such as Dumbledore and Harry's trip to the House of Gaunt were woefully absent, while adding other small details--such as making Felix Felicis the gold color that it is would have greatly enhanced the movie for the true fan.
