This was a fun movie. For those who have read the book, the movie does not follow quite as closely as other movies in the series and that is to its favour. Instead it sticks to the spirit of the book, taking a few shortcuts here and there but never to the stories detriment. This movie, by necessity felt like less of an ensemble piece than some of the others, concentrating primarily on Harry and Dumbledore. Still lots of fun things and a nice setup for the two part adaption of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
