I saw the movie today and for the most part I really liked it. Just a few pet peeves though...I'll leave spoiler space, just in case

1. I was disappointed that the howler was cut out. I loved that part of the book, but I understood why it was cut, I just wish it hadn't been.
2. Beyond annoyed with the whole Cho 'thing' and the DA. (highlight to read)
That was so stupid that they had Cho out the DA, although MysticCat's reasoning does make sense
3. Siruis's death. Hated how it was written in the book (I expected something different, mainly because I read the books after movie #3 came out and Gary Oldman said in an interview that his character died in book 5, so I was expecting it, but more "grandiose"). Hated even more what happened in the movie. (highlight to read the following)
Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't Sirius fighting Voldemort in the book. What was up with Bellatrix doing the killing curse on him. That was beyond messed up. GRRR.
4. I was surprised that they didn't "show" Snape leaving Hogwarts and going "undercover" (whatever you want to call it) since that is HUGE in HBP. Him being undercover is the reason he agrees to the 'blood oath' (or whatever it was and I can't pull out HBP because it's back in some box in my gargage, otherwise I would. I should find it before Saturday).
