My favorite HP book but my least favorite HP movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2005)

I was very excited about this movie and very interested to see how they were going to fit 700 pages of novel into 2-3 hrs on the big screen. Well, now I know... they take a little bit from each chapter, flash 10 min of it on the screen..then go on to the next "random" scene. I found my self getting very frustrating to know how important the scene was and what was about to happen, just to be whisked away to another point in time. The actors did a good job though it seemed that Dumbledore was very different from the book. This time around they took many liberties in straying from the original storyline. It is definitely made for people who read the book, people who didn't were getting lost at certain points in the movie. I almost think they should have made it a 2 parter. It had so much potential but was very disappointing.
