I thought it was the best of the 3 films, but not only that, I thought the screenplay was actually SUPERIOR to the book! The screenwriter did an amazing job adapting that long story to the amount of screen time he had to work with. What was left out was for the most part, trivial. And they changed the subplot of the Firebolt to happen at the very end of the story, which occurs in January....NOT the end of the school year, thereby leaving a place for the parts that were left out of the movie (the quidditch season, etc.) to occur off-screen.
Rowling said that the screenwriter had added a couple of things on his own, that coincidentally, foreshadow some things that will happen in books 6 and 7. She was very pleased, and I must agree.
