I've seen this and well, I'm not all that impressed. I liked the book a lot, and the movie has none of the fun or charm of it. It's like a series of action sequences with no context. Everyone except the main three characters gets shorted on screen time and characterization, including, extremely unwisely, Ginny Weasley, who is a major part of the story. Why no Peeves the Poltergeist? Why do Fred and George Weasley, main characters in the books, barely exist in the movie? Why were both Snape and Gilderoy Lockheart relegated to near cameos in this film? And why is the kid playing Draco Malfoy such a bad actor? He honestly must have had marbles in his mouth throughout his major scenes. The film was three hours long. They had the time to do this right, and they didn't. I shudder to think What they're going to do to the next book. I hope with the departure of Chris Columbus the films will get better.
