We saw the new Harry Potter movie today!
As a movie, I thought it was pretty good. But honestly I was a little disappointed, because as a book adaptation, it left something to be desired. I felt that the director made the assumption that the audience had read the book. Therefore, he skimmed over a lot a things and didn’t develop the plot as fully as he should have. Overall, I don’t think the movie did the book the justice it deserved.
Perhaps when the DVD comes out there will be an extended edition (like The Lord of the Rings) that will fill in the things that were left out and make it a worthy successor of the other two Harry Potter films.
