I gave it a rating of "good" because it was, but it could have been better. I think this is my favorite one tho, much more true to the book than GoF, especially. The twins' escape and Umbridge's ride with the centaurs were my favorites, those scenes were played very well, I thought, and were pretty hilarious to watch, as well. The alleyway scene with Mrs. Figg was weird, that was the oddest alleyway I've ever seen, and since, at the hearing, they didn't say she was a squib, anyone not totally familiar with the book could have forgotten that and wondered why she didn't just do something about the dementors instead of making Harry do it.

I do think that Sirius's death scene was rather touching, however if the sound had been used, to actually hear Harry screaming, I feel it might have been better, and the veil was just downright disappointing. It was supposed to be a curtain, and Sirius arch backwards into it and just disappear, only seeing shadows behind it, not this funky mist stuff that it was... He just sort of became one with the wall and faded away, a very disappointing death to me. I wasn't very happy or as emotional as I thought I'd be during this time, instead I spent most of that time wondering what kind of a curtain acted like that.

Grimmauld Place, and The Black Family tree, was amazing, tho yes they did leave out Sirius' mother, not like I'm especially heartbroken not to see the wretched woman screeching, but it would have been good to help set the mood of the movie as well. It would have helped explain Sirius' urge to get out of the house and see Harry off, besides being locked up all the time.

Umbridge and her violent pink outfits disgust me, sickened me. They started out just fine, sort of, being a light baby pink all over, but each time you see her she's a more and more violent shade of pink, and at one point was even wearing a fuzzy coat. Staunton plays a wonderfully wicked Umbridge that you have to just love to hate. She definitely got her comeuppance with the centaurs later on. I think they did great work on her.

The Room of Requirement was off, wayyy off, they only walked up to it and it showed the door, when they are supposed to walk by it 3 times and it be across from a tapestry. But I suppose to shortcut their way through the "snitch" scene and all, they had to do it how they did. Even tho, the mirrored walls were really cool to see the spells being shot like that. I LOVED seeing everyone's patronuses. However the Harry/Cho kiss scene was VERY awkward, in my eyes, as they were talking about her dead boyfriend and then proceeded to kiss, right in frolnt of Cedric's picture, which was taped on the board they were in front of. That is, to me, a bit uncaring, as it is supposed to be only a year after Cedric dies. Struck me as odd, it did.

Overall tho, I did like the movie alot, and seeing Tonks in action is great, all the characters have developed a bit more since GoF, even if it was just in their acting. Luna is great, Evanna fits the character wonderfully, she just makes it all a more positive feeling and just the perfect Luna. Great movie, tho some parts are twisted, others are missing, but then again you can't possibly fit everything in a book into the movie.
