Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2007)

For anyone watches the movies but doesn't read the books, you'll be a little confused at times, such as when Tonks is changing her nose, because it's not explained at all. And I was a little disappointed to see that they had cut out the St.Mungo scene that I was so looking forward to seeing. I understand that a lot of scenes needed to be cut out, but the fact that somehow this was made into the shortest HP movie yet is beyond me, especially considering how OOTP is the longest book in the HP series. There were also a loose end in this film that didn't get tied, such as the Harry/Cho drama. We find out that Cho betrayed the DA, but then we find out that she was under the influence of Veritaserum, so it wasn't her fault at all, but we don't see Harry trying to make up with Cho after he finds out about this. Maybe he will do this in the next film, but I highly doubt it. On the plus side of this whole film, I really haven't laughed this much in this film as much as the others. It really funny at times, but not so much that it sugar coats the darkness of the film. The acting was amazing, even though I think Hermione and Ron should have played a more active role in this movie, and even the actor who plays Dumbledor is less...tense is the only word I can use to describe his acting in the previous film (i.e the yelling and scowling). Overall, this movie wasn't bad, it was certainly better than GOF, but they shouldn't have cut so much from the book.
