I finally got around to seeing this on the IMAX giant screen (which is quite an experience, by the way) and I was pretty disappointed. Very choppy. There was too much of the book to fit into a 2 hour movie. If they had cut the divination stuff they would have had more room and would not have had to rely on rushed exposition. The book was my favorite of the first three, and the movie did not live up to my considerable expectations. I saw it with two others who had read the book and one who had not. The one who had not was not as upset, but did express confusion about various things, such as Harry's attack on Snape (which, as edited, made little sense) and was frustrated by the time-travel, which I'll admit was weak in the book.
