I enjoyed it, but was really distracted by what was/was not added to the movie and wondering if such and such a scene would be shown.
With the exception of Harry being so godawfully angry and emotional, this was my favorite book. I was glad that he was toned down. It seems to me that there was so much jumping from one thing to the next to advance the plot, that character development was nothing.
Umbridge was absolutely perfect.
My Husband and I saw the movie last night at 5pm and it was packed! Some couple remarked about how “angry” Harry was...some one else remarked, “of course he is angry, he’s 16” Well not technically age correct, it drew a very large laugh from the mostly adult audience...
Counting down till Saturday night....I CAN’T WAIT...it’s like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one!...
I agree with your comments and would add that the improvement of Dumbledore was most certainly welcome!
