I'm glad I read this: it makes me want to finish reading the series! I stopped during the second chapter of Book 5, because for some strange psychological reason, I don't like finishing fictional books and have an even more difficult time finishing fictional series (it's like I feel cheated that the story is over; so if I never finish the book, I always have something to come back to). =] But now I'll finish. =] Wow!

Books mean something a little different to everyone who reads them. This director was more interested in the relationships between the teenagers and the good vs evil arc than the horcrux storyline or than the dumbledore/ snape/ voldemort storylines (which I would have also liked to see more of). But I thought he captured the spirit of the book pretty well, even if he did take more liberties with the story than any of us probably would have liked. However, I totally agree with you about the scene where the burrow was destroyed--unnecessary and def only added so there could be more explosions. That’s the problem with making books into movies.
