This movie was even more blah than the previous HP. These movies are impossible to shrink into under 3 hours long. I was thinking after I left the movie a smart (but less profitable) idea would be to convert the HP books into a serial (for tv, or even in movie installments). HP books, as anyone who has read them, are plot driven with loads of content, including two or three subplots that enhance the main thread. In the present movies, there are no subplots, and even the main narrative is watered so thin that you feel like you're watched a 2.5 hour summary of the novel, geez.
I was also very disappointed that the supporting characters got hardly no screen time. A person feels like they have no relevance being there, and that the actors could be using their time for better acting opportunities (ie alan rickman, emma thompson, maggie smith etc.).
In essence, these films do the book no justice. In the ending credits it said "Based on the novel by J.K. Rowlings" which does make sense, and does defend how so much is taken away from the story.
Worst disappointment: NO QUIDDITCH SCENES! wtf that's the best part of the books
