    Crucial information from book was not included. Scenes changed for no apparent reason. Arbitrary made-up scenes were added, which didn't absolutely nothing to further the story!

    Entertaining!Those who have not read the books will not like it/get it as much as those who have.It set up important points needed for the last movie to work (which will hopefully have enough action to satisfy everyone, since this movie did lack it a little). Overall, I thought it was enjoyable.I found the humor refreshing, though i have heard comments that it was out of place, oh well.

    This film had two conflicting elements that made it hard to watch. It starts off very dark, very ominous, very much in line with the greater story arc. This plays out for 30 minutes or so. Then a romantic plot takes over and lasts nearly an hour and a half. I actually found myself laughing at how uncomfortable the characters seemed with their sexuality and adolescence right before the climactic conclusion. This gave the climactic conclusion no much emotional resonance for me. The ending, as a result, came away very contrived as though it were an afterthought to tie up every loose end possible in 20 minutes or less.

    Great movie for Harry Potter fans. If you've read the books and know what's going on it's very fun! But if you've never read the books you probably will get bored. There is a lot missing from the book, but OBVIOUSLY as they can't put all the information into a movie which is already 3 hours. It's funny, magical, and brilliantly done

    I've been very disappointed with the HP movies in the past, but was pleasantly surprised with this one! It was the HP film that has stayed the most faithful to the books so true fans will enjoy it best.
