hey guys i only gave the movie Average...i dunno it ddnt surpass GoF in over-all, spoilers ahead so read at your own risk for those whos havnt seen the movie yet...here's my critique....

SCENES/SETS
- Dudley Demented, it was very sunny and hot! the Dmentors hir are unhooded, new look!
- Peck of Owls?, no, only 1 owl, animation of the letter was fine though, Harry ddnt defend himself!
- Advanced Guard , was so cool! and the London sceneries were great!
- Grimmauld Place was so cozy and clean too...
- Ministry of Magic set was so awesome! i ddnt imagine it that big! and the fountains was a good sight..
- The Hearing was full of details, and that's fine...the snubbing was so heartbreaking really...
- Sirius's a different dog hir!, as last seen in PoA...
- Loved the old Order of the Phoenix pic! i ddnt see Lupin though..
- Threstrals were fine as well, you can notice Ron looking at it in exact position during the carriage scene, when Harry pointed the threstral...
- DADA lesson scene was full of emotions hir too, Umbridge's very nasty hir!
- Loved the Inquisitor scenes, with Snape & Trewlaney...only the funny scenes..
- Hog's Head scenes were so gloomy,but yes the actors played well
- Room of Requirement needs improvmnt for me, there are no books or cushions..but i like the idea of mirror there with attached memories why they need to fight...
- i like the way Harry and Seamus fight! very convincing!
- A lot of D.A. meetings! i loved that! and they practiced Levicorpus!
- and wow Harry & Cho's kiss scene was done professionally...goodie good!
- Loved the scene after the kiss! That's the trio talking, Hermione explaining, Ron laughing and Harry speechless!, memorable scene!

- Detention with Dolores was rily nasty!
- Loved Ron when he said "I'm Hungry!"

to Hermione....haha!
- Cool Snackboxes too! loved them and tons of Decree...
- Eye of the Snake scenes details were enough,even though a lot was removd..
- No St. Mungo's! nor Career Advice!
- and what's the urgency with Occlumency? details were enough though, all said..
- Family tree was so big! to give way for the pics? nicely done though..
- Hagrid's Tale was so short! but again the details was enough..
- The whole D.A. was caught! And the culprit was Cho! poor Cho! its not her fault! she got interrogated...
- Didnt expect Grawp to be there! i thought he'll be removed, but im very glad they included him as well as the centaurs, and the scenes were good too!
- Snape's Worst Memory scenes were fine,a bit short, wish it could've extended for another minute or so...
- Weasley fireworks! scene was not that funny though, but Umbridge deserved it!...i was waiting for Catherine wheels to appear, but none came..
- Harry's desperation to save Sirius ddnt need further argument when he said "He's the only family i got!"..

.even if i was Hermione, i wudnt stop him...
- When Harry was caught using the fireplace, where did Neville, Luna and Ginny come from?it ddnt show what happend..maybe in DVD...
- Fight scenes with Umbridge and centaurs....its not enough for me though..Flight scenes were very good!
- Department of Mysteries, Hall of Prophecy, Death Chamber were really really excellent sets! Especially the veil, i loved it...
- and wow they modified Apparition! good though
- Harry performed a nonverbal spell! you can see it during their first attack when Sirius is by his side and then Malfoy re-appeared...
- Wrong effects hir! When Bella did the Killing Curse on Sirius, Sirius was still abled to move and look at Harry! is should be instant death right?
- also, did someone mentioned why Voldemort want the prophecy? i think i missed that one...
- The duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort was splendid!, good visuals & choreography! destroying the ministry's lobby! why do their wands connected though?
- Harry's possession scenes were soooo sad! especially with the flashbacks, made me cry! loved the quote he said, "You're the weak one and im sorry for you.."

- Lost Prophecy scene was so short too! they only discussed 3 things, who's fault, the prophecy contents, and why tell now...i think they missed a few essential points but i cant think of any at the mo...wait Dumbledore's sorry too..
- i noticed a lot of Luna/Harry scenes hir! with threstals & end of term...wonder why??? how sweet!!!
- also there's a lot of romance between Harry & Cho! also notice Ginny's reactions! like after the Hog's Head when Hermione mention Cho at Harry, you cud see Ginny looking bothered and most noticable is aftr one DA meeting when Harry approchd Cho at the mirror, you could see Ginny looked back and looked miserable...poor Ginny!
- there's not enough grieving done for Sirius! he deservd that! there's not enough emotions there, in the book, that made the readers anticipate for the book6, they shouldve included at least a scene where Harry wants to be alone...
- Lastly, also loved the last line.."They have something worth fighting for..."

PERFORMANCES

- Sirius is very dramatic, and there's a lot of Harry/Sirius bonding! and yeah that's good!
- Evanna's performance was really excellent! she portrayed Luna very well! loved her!
- Imelda Staunton brought out the nastiness of Umbrigde! great performance, with the cough & silly laughs!
- also Helena Carter did great! her evilness was very palpable, great perfomance! great!
- Emma Thompson & Alan Rickman's

performances were really classics...
- i hope you guys noticed but Ralph's performance as Voldemort got scarier! he's fiercer and meaner this time! very good!!!!

DETAILS that should have mentioned in the film...
- to whom did exactly the dementors took orders? Voldemort's or Umbridge?
- also Snape's work for the Order, but maybe it will be included in the next movie...
- and why Harry needed to stay & go back to the Dursleys every summer...

OVERALL...

Something wrong with the script, its too bookish, also i ddnt saw "raging hormones" from Harry, this proved to be essential in the success of book5...but Harry's attitude althrough out the film compensates for it, his attitude to Ron & Hermione and the frustration on what's happening to him..well that's ok..Im also glad they included a lot of characters hir,including Percy, Amelia Bones, Tonks, Shacklebolt and even Wormtail! a lot of Filch scenes hir too! that's great!
But...its not as magically great as the last 4 films, it seems that it lose the spirit of Harry Potter too....it wasnt exactly adapted the way im expecting it, there's little sadness, lack also a lot of details....bad cinematography too.. but as a Harry Potter fan, i still loved it & im planning on watching it again!!!
