I saw the new Harry Potter movie last night, and overall I liked it. Although, my brain did spoil the ending for me since I knew what was going to happen.
I only complaint I had about it was that they couldn’t jam in everything from the book. There were several things which they did not explain thoroughly enough to warrant including in the movie. For instance, they did not tie Neville’s dismay over the crucio curse to his parents’ torture very well. It was there, but I doubt many people noticed it. Harry’s pursuit of Cho was hardly worth having in the movie either. It added an interesting layer to the book, but the movie would have been fine without it. I was also disappointed that they did not include the Weasley twins’ jokes. Those were highly entertaining, but I guess they just would not fit in the movie.
Still though, I liked it a lot. It was the first time I had read the book prior to seeing the movie, so it spoiled it a bit, but I was still entertained.
