I saw the movie on saturday and I loved it.
I have to admit at first I didn't really enjoy, because there were a lot of things omitted from the movie. But as I discussed it more with mum (someone who has never read any of the books), it dawned on me that these movies are not really written for the book reader. They are written for those who have never read the books.
The non-reder is only interested in the jist of the story, not the intricate plot points that are in the book. They want the "Coles Notes" version of things. I understand this better now. Yes it's disappointing not to see certain things on the big screen, but they only have so much time.
My only complaint, and like many of you, is the little changes in plot, (i.e. Neville finding the room of requirement, or Cho telling on the DA) in the movie, did upset me, because they were not necessary.
