and i think the part that went missing in HBP and OoTP is that i dont remember Dumbledore and Harry discussing the prophecy...where Harry goes through this phase that he would in the end be the murder and the explaination that follows in the book is really too good.you know the one in which Dumbledore explains about not following what is right and what is wrong but what you choose in the end that matters...that has quite a strong message...but i dont think they have put that up in either of the films so i guess that might affect the final movie...

so all in all i guess there will quite a lot of explaining to be done for the film makers to do on these parts if they are planning to do exactly how it is given in the book.
well with these things not explained in the previous movie i guess there will be quite a lot of alterations in the last two movies.but i guess they will do a good job as they did with HBP even though they missed quite a few plots...

i discovered this thread quite late and that is why i would like to add that Tom was completely awesome in the movie and Ron was much more funnier than any other movies.they really did a good job.one of my friends simply loved Tom from the beginning of the series and she always thought Tom's character was underplayed but this time i told her when i had seen the trailers on net that 'you are going to see a lot of Tom' and she was glad and she was amazed and wonderstruck at his acting when she saw the movie.

there is no favorite part of the film for me because the entire movie i guess is my favorite amongst the rest even if they have missed (i must say again...lol) few plots...

Everything should be considered important. Including all the small things. But what they've (filmmakers) are focusing too much on stuff that was either hinted or was a touch and go subject.

Example would be the whole relationship(s) thing going on. To me, during HBP it felt like they were focusing way too much on the relationship of Ron and Lavendar than to get down to the actual heart of the plot. I felt that maybe if they had hit on it and not over done it; if you will, then there would
have been time to put in some of that stuff.
