Sue:

> I just saw the movie - and LOVED it.  It was very telegraphic -
abbreviated, but generally covering the critical points.  I liked the
way there was foreshadowing of the relationships developed in HBP,
and am eager to see how that book is handled by David Yates.

> I'm replying to this message, though because I was very sure that
Sirius was NOT  dead when he fell through the veil.  I might change
my mind if I saw the scene again, but I thought he looked surprised
and then went through a whole series of other emotions before he
disappeared.  Just asked my husband, and he wasn't sure what he
thought about the matter.  (I think he was paying more attention to
Bellatrix and the fireworks.)  In fact I was impressed by the way it
was acted out and the special effects.

Arwen17:
I think he did a tremendously good job! Now I know why they already
appointed him director of the next film before they even got the
reaction from people on this film. He got all the important stuff in,
it didn't feel rushed like goblet of fire, and he really really paid
attention to detail. Detail only the book fans can appreciate!
Midnight opening was awesome!

Anyone who has seen Eragon or Blood and Chocolate and has read those
books can appreciate how well they do stay on track with the Harry
Potter movies. The eragon and blood and chocolate movies were
completely different from their books. Which makes me wonder why they
even bothered to say they were based on the book. Harry potter movies
may have alerations, but they are still kept mostly faithful. JKR
does a good job of that.
