Really? Everyone who read the books was actually disappointed? I thought this was by far the best movie of the series and the closest to the books. Harry and Ron seemingly got over their awkward phases (the actors not the characters) that they had in the fourth movie. Michael Gambon did a much better Dumbledore in this movie than in GoF. I think David Yates, the new director, may have told him to tone it down a bit. I was so mad at seeing Dumbledore yelling at Harry in the fourth movie. And this movie was way less rushed than the fourth.

The casting for all the new characters was spot on in my opinion. Even though she wasn't in the movie much, the actress who played Tonks was great, and I agree, Helena Bonham Carter was perfect for Bellatrix.

Sure they left some stuff out and there were some inaccuraciesm but what do you expect? And of course it's dark, like Roger Ebert said, but that is because the books are getting darker and a giant war is pretty much on the horizon. The movies can't be like the first two when Harry and Co. were just figuring out their magical abilities. They are getting hold of their abilities more and more, and I personally love the direction the movies are taking towards being darker. I just wish they would go a little further with it. The next movie should be much darker what with Spoiler: Harry nearly killing Draco and him bleeding out all over the bathroom floor.

I will totally agree with what FoolThemAll said in his spoiler tag though. That was the saddest part of the entire series for me and it was played off rather quickly.
