There have been reviews where people have said that they liked the movie
better than the book, but they tended to be from people who didn't
particularly enjoy the book. Furthermore, I can't remember any HPFGU
fans of the book going on record as saying they preferred the movie -
indeed, there is a definite sentiment of "don't get your expectations
*too* high" running through many fan reviews. (Easier said than done!)

Happily, there are areas in which consensus (at least, to the limited
extent to which consensus exists) does regard the movie more highly than
the book; most of the inserted scenes to flesh out Ron and Hermione's
characterisation seem to be broadly well appreciated.

Oh, heck - just enjoy it for what it is! :-)
