Good movie...but missed some key points I think

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2007)

OK. This may contain spoilers so if you have not read the book or seen the movie, stop reading.
I saw the movie yesterday and while it was a good movie I have to say that I feel a bit jipped and disappointed. It seemed like it went too fast. It did closely follow the book, there were a few scenes or things that happened that was not in the book, like the entire DA in dentetion with Umbridge.
It seemed that it moved really fast jumping from scene to scenes. From the beginning scene at the park, which was not at night. No Harry under the window listening to the news. I was hoping that there would have been at least one scene in St. Mungos, so we could have seen what it looked like. I think that there should have been mention of Bode and the devils snare, that was a good point to add to the movie. I think they should have at least mentioned that Ron and Hermione had made prefect. The seen in the Astronomy tower where Mcgonagal gets hit with the Stupefy curse would have been a great scene to include. But that was left out as well.
There were many areas left out. They seems to take up air time showing scenery and all the daily prophets, that could have been used for something else. I think the Weasly's exit form the school, did not give them justice that was due, don't get me wrong it was great, but I think it would have been better if they had done it like in the book, while Harry was trying to contact Sirius.
All in all it was a good movie, but I have to say I am kinda of worried to see what they leave out of the HP and HBP. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and will continue seeing the movies and reading the books and I still think that all the movies are good, I just felt a little let down.
I will say that I wish Evvanna (Spelling) had more screen time, she was amazing and exactly how I pictured her in the book. Tonks was good, but she need more screen time as well. Lestrange was great but the scene at the ministry was a bit short. I wished they would have put the circular rooms with all the doors in there and Ron getting attacked by those brains. If they could have made this scene at the ministry longer adding in more of the what the book at, it would have been awesome. With that being said, the scene between Voldemort and Dumble door was awesome, that was the best action I have seen in a HP movie.
