Many people were angry about the fact that it didn't follow the book exactly, but people need to understand is that the producers need to be able to make the book into a likable movie, which is what they did. If they added everything in the same amount of time, the movie would have been horrible. They can't make a 6 hour long movie, either. I think that it's amazing how good of a job they did with making the script consoladated but keeping it "Harry Potter." People need to understand that there is almost NO way to put everything in the movie! I thought the movie was GREAT. It really was hilarious, and I was so happy to have great ron/harry/hermione moments! The ending was poignant w/o being over done. GREAT MOVIE!
