    I thought it was well-directed and, as a standalone, worked very well. The 6th book is considered one of my favourites, and I thought this movie didn't disappoint. I thought all the additions were cute and helped play up the fact that, yes, these are just kids we're talking about. True, there could've been more Snape, but whatever scenes he did get were amazing. Helena Bonham Carter is also pretty amazing. Even as a hardcore fan, you shouldn't judge this movie too harshly. Instead of comparing word for word in the book and popping in a thousand "but that wasn't in there!"s and "that's not how he said it in the book!"s, just watch and take it for what it is and how it's presented.

    a very very very disappointing movie. Too much missing and the ending was anticlimatic. They should have waited another six months and released a better movie. My fingers are crossed for the next two.

    What were the producers thinking? Our kids have always been big Potter fans but they were begging to leave after a half-hour. Ughhh! 2.5/10

    One of the more disappointing trips to the cinema I've had in sometime. Everyone in the cast with the exception of Helena Bonham Carter looks absolutely bored and even the CGI was bad. It may be time to give the series a rest for awhile.

    We waited in line over three hours for this, and wound up leaving twenty minutes into the film. "Disaster" is too kind a word for this slice of movie manure.
