I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I think the screenwriters did a great job adapting it from the book. That does not imply, however, that is follows the book exactly. As with all the HP movies, the main points, sequences and order of events are mostly in-tact with modifications necessary to simplify things and/or keep continuity with the other movies and the fact that some of the less vital topics were removed. It was a good mix of action and drama with come comedic moments thrown in. It is not (and was never meant to be) a stand-alone movie, however. If you see Part 1, you will need to see part 2 to get any conclusion/resolution.
