Good but something was missing

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2007)

I have to warn all that I am not pleased when a movie deviates from the book it is based upon. I realize it MUST to some extent, but I feel this time it went too far. The special effects were outstanding. The score was tremendous (as usual) and the film itself was a very well done work. I give credit to all who worked on and in this film.
Radcliff continued to give an excellent portrayal of Harry Potter, and the same can be said for most of the returning actors and their characters.
I felt there were too many omissions from the book in the editing of the film, and the several changes were upsetting.
I feel Yates has let down the fans on this one. With the announcement that the final book will be split into 2 movies, I have gone from annoyed to outraged.
