I have to agree that this was the best HP film yet. I own all the books and thought this movie was great. Don't mistake me for some blinded fanboy though, I like good writing, and certain authors; J.K. Rowling happens to be a good writer, and one I like.
This movie seems to have gotten mixed reviews, some seem to have really disliked it while others really liked it. Well...I liked it.

I lol at my friend when he trash talks Snape for killing Dumbledore. He hasn't read the 7th book... or the 6th or the 5th, but he's seen all the movies, so I have to fill him in after the movies over. I didn't tell him about Snape though because that's the biggest spoiler.
True, true. I have a friend who saw the movie and when I mentioned it he said he knew Snape was evil all along. I just had to laugh to myself and keep quiet.

Nerds! All of ya! Nerds! jk I read all the books within a week after they were released:P. I wasnt very impressed by Goblet of Fire, so I never watched Order of the Phoenix, and wasn't planning on watching another HP movie. I just cant ignore these rave reviews though, it's time I got caught up:hammy:(lol seth).

Funny, when I read that part, being a constant supporter of Snape, I was like "Wait, what? That can't be right... must be something fishy here... it was way too simple..."
(Lots of spoilers for Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.)
[spoil]At first, I was inclined to agree that Snape was, indeed, evil, because that would have been Albus' single character flaw- unlimited trust. But it turned out later that his flaw was explained more thoroughly, a flaw which, ironically, would be more reminiscent of a student of Slytherin than Griffindor- vaulting ambition. It's what caused him to abandon his family. So, once that was out, then I was more inclined to believe that Snape was, indeed, not evil, although my sympathy for him was very great after he gave his memories to Harry after being killed by Nagini, because it all fit perfectly together and while I may not have agreed with what his motives were, I could understand him. That was all, of course, in the Deathly Hallows. I have to say what was perhaps the most unsettling thing for me in Deathly Hallows was the death of George, because that terminated half of the twins' chemistry and definitely felt very grave and unexpected when it happened.
I think what made this series very great was its base simplicity but its ending complication, all layered over a well-developed character-driven plot, as opposed to the common event-driven plots of typical fantasy, which is why, I believe, we have seen an increase in popularity of the sub-genre- people who do not usually read fantasy relate better with the characters, which drew them in to the whole story. It was all very satisfying to the very end and I have to say that the movies have absolutely nothing on the books. And if you didn't enjoy Goblet of Fire, well, it was necessary. That was the point where I would say he began his maturing, towards the end of the book, when he first had to deal with the reality and finality of death, cope with his own social problems, and really realized that there are solid and real enemies out there that will destroy him at any chance they get.
(And, another part that I particularly was happy about was the reconciliation of the Malfoy family at the end of Hallows through Narcissa.)[/spoil]
Snape has to be the most always present evil seeming character that was in the book(voldemort makes only guest appearences, so he doesn't count for the point I'm trying to make). The actor they chose fits Snape perfectly, I'd have to say all the actors seem to fit the characters from the book. That's not to say the movies measure up to the books, it is hard to make a better movie from a well written book. I can see making a better movie out of a poorly written book, but the reverse mus be a rare occurrence.
Those who are afraid of spoilers. Just read the books, any local library should have them. If you don't like to read maybe you'll learn to. With the right book or books reading is a great thing. My problem is I'm very picky, so when I find an author I like I re-and-re-and-re read the books by that author. This can get very old.
What I should do is look for more authors. Randomly check out something(in my case mostly from the fantasy genre) that may look or sound interesting, then see if I like it. Otherwise I'll become very bored of even my favorite author's works.

The only reason I didn't like the movie is because it didn't really fit what I saw in my mind when I read the book.Not that I expected it to be my vision per say, but the mood of some scenes just weren't in tune with the way I picked it up.
Ah, okay, I thought you just meant that story in particular. Yeah, the movie didn't fit well with me. I did appreciate some of what it did- particularly the Yule Ball gave me a good mind image to work when when reading about it- but things like the final test were sadly lacking (it failed to mention the acromantualas, didn't mention the fake Professor Moody was using the Imperius Curse on Krum... *sigh*- and it didn't have my favorite line of Voldemort's when he was resurrected- "... I would not know, I have never died.", which for some reason always stuck in my head, whether for its story or character implications, I am not sure).
