Beautiful. Yes, they changed some things. Yes, they made up some things. As an obsessive fan of the books, this did not bother me in the least. We got straight book to film adaptations in the first two movies & they are the worst out of all of them - the bigscreen is a completely different medium that requires deft adaptation & interpretation. I sat in the theatre completely spellbound by what I was seeing. The cave scene was perfect. Ron & Hermione were adorable. Dumbledore's tribute (a "made-up" scene) was heartwrenching. I have been waiting for a Harry Potter movie of this caliber since they first started making them. I loved this film & am now nothing but excited to see what they do with the last two.
