The reviews on this site are stating that this movie is the truest to the book as any of the movies have come. While I will admit they did take lines directly from the book, the inaccuracies were just too much to bear for a potter snob such as myself. This movie is the first introduction to Bill Weasley and Mundungus Fletcher, 2 characters with which Harry has had PLENTY of contact in the past. Creature is barely a figure in this movie, they could have left him out entirely which makes no sense since he plays such a key part in the book. Aside from the inaccuracies my potter-snobness forces me to see, the movie was not a bad movie. My problem with the Potter movies in general is that there is so much information to pack into a 2 hr movie that the important parts and morals JK Rowling spent years getting down on paper are lost in translation on screen. The transitions between scenes are choppy and are often so all over the place that anyone who hasn't read the books finds it difficult to follow. The good parts of this movie are the visual effects, the scenery (which I will say seemed to be very accurate) and the actors. Dan, Emma and Rupert have done such a fantastic job playing the characters they've grown up with that its hard not to imagine them as the trio we've all come to love. Overall the movie is a 3-4/5 Its not that the movie was bad or even mediocre. I was intrigued and entertained every step of the way and can't wait to see the conclusion but as a die hard Potter-Head I would gladly have sat through a 6 hour movie in order to keep true to the amazing ness that is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
