For once I thought they made the cuts where nessecary instead of just cutting apart the book to make a new plot. The only thing they NEEDED to leave in that they didn't, in my opinion, was the ending talk between Harry and Dumbledore. Harry breaking things, throwing a tantrum... you barely got to see Harry be upset by Sirius at all.

The rest of the movie was spectacular, though. Excellent effects, and GREAT acting. Umbridge was just as evil as I was hoping for All the Ron-Hermy tension was just cute, and I loved the look Harry gave Ginny in this movie... sets up their romance for the future.
