I'm a huge Harry potter fan, books as well as movies and I can say I am not at all disappointed with this film. The movie was brilliantly made, and the dark feel was evident right from the beginning of the movie. What I was really happy about this one is it was more faithful to the book. The new actors like Imelda Staunton(played the role of Umbridge brilliantly), the young lady with potential Evanna Lynch who played Luna Lovegood and no need to mention the Bellatrix to the heights of evil.

I particularly enjoyed the climax sequences which were a pleasure to watch in 3D, the movie went smoothly right from the beginning and there were no split ends. The lack of quidditch in the movie makes sense because the viewer can assume Umbridge might have banned that as well. I can say that this movie was the most touching of all the five because of the importance it emphasized on friendship and love. The movie also showed properly about the rebellion in school and fudge's lack of belief in Voldemort returning.

Daniel Radcliffe has definitely improved in this movie and the improvement has been clearly seen in the final scenes where he had to fight Voldemort possessing him and Sirius dying. Emma and Rupert were great as Harry's friends Hermione and Ron as usual. The only mistake which I've seen is Luna using the spell "Levicorpus" in the final fight which does not come until the next book. Apart from that I'd give this movie a double thumbs up and everyone whether a book reader or not can watch it and still be able to appreciate it.

I loved the last scenes where Harry gets posessed by Voldemort and he gets reminded of all his well wishers and friends like his parents,Ron,hermione Sirius and all the happy moments he has had right from the first year at hogwarts........it was really touching.I felt this was the scene which was handled really well and on par with what exactly JKR has written.

I felt bad that many parts went left out namely Snape/Sirius encounter(Now Sirius being dead, we dont have a chance to see them meet anymore in movies!!Sadly.....), and the Rita Skeeter's Quibbler thing would have been included.......but anyway, I am happy with the screen adaptation of HP5 and I totally agree that the movie would have been 15 hours long if they would have taken each and every page in the book. I was, I am and I will be the first admirer of books when I am asked to choose between Books and movies.......but the movies are worth watching at the same time!!!

ENJOY THE MOVIE and I am eagerly waiting for the 7th book to come out!!
