A good film, just don't read the book first!!

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2007)

Separate the book from the film, and this is a good movie as Harry Potter films go. I do have a few complaints (as expected as I read the book first) it moves way too fast, how on earth the non-readers keep up and have the slightest idea whats going on, I have no idea.
What happened to Ron and Hermione? They hardly have any lines, yes Harry is the main character but we love to see 'The Trio' together.. its just not the same with them floating around in the background.
Please can the 'New Dumbledore' act like Dumbledore. He's way too aggressive. I don't blame the actor.... but someone needs to sort this out!
Kreacher was hardly seen and his mumblings were not focused on enough, his character was not portrayed well which is important because of the up-coming films.
Sirius's death was disappointing. It happened quick and didn't really have much affect on the audience. It was a shock, yes, but not sad enough.
Most importantly... The Locket?? We didn't see it at all... Big boo-boo in my opinion as anyone who's read the final book will know. Which means they will have to alter the beginning of the final film somehow.
Just one more, the discovery of the Room Of Requirement was changed, which for me made it seem less special.
OK, I'm done with the bad points! There were plenty of good points also; the music, the effects, the kiss I thought was perfect...although many disagree! All in all I thought it was good (believe it or not!!) I understand they can't put everything in, but changing bits is just not on!
