I thought it did an excellent job streamlining the important events from the books, taking some liberties with the order of events in order to tell a story on the screen. It didn’t feel rushed, nor did I really miss any of the excised material (except no Dursleys... *sigh*).

To me, the only jarring thing was the “reveal” at the end about Snape being the Half-Blood Prince. Maybe they plan on pushing that into the first half of #7, but I think they could have spared one minute to go into Snape’s background a little bit more, as it’s an important clue into his character and motivations.

I couldn't agree with you more. I thought it a real shame that they omitted the "Don't call me a coward" line there at the end, too.

NO DURSLEYS??

I am flabbergasted. They cut out the ton-tongue toffee in Goblet, and now they cut out Dudley telling Harry he wasn’t a waste of skin and shaking his hand?

Bleah.
