Just went to see it. Missed the first part cuz I was late.
It was okay - quite understandable that a lot of the book had to be chopped out, seeing as how Book 5 was so plodding at times. No Quidditch at all (including Weasley is the king chants and commentator Luna), no Peeves, no McGonagall getting owned by stupefies, no Marietta Edgecombe the sneak, no Rita Skeeter and the Quibbler, and very little emphasis placed on the OWLs.
I would have loved to see the scene where McGonagall pledged to help Potter become an auror. The much-ballyhoed wand combat was interesting - I want to see more of it, but Jedi acrobatics it ain't.
All in all, a good adaptation that holds my attention. Dumbledore's got style.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
