I went to the midnight showing and I enjoyed the movie very much. 
Much more emotional than the previous films. It's quite clear there 
are extra scene there that were cut from the film. Some I'm very sure 
has to do with Kreacher. The scene where Harry, Hermione, and Ron in 
Umbridge's office shows a clear sign that something was supposed to 
happen before Umbridge came in.

I too noticed that Uncle Vernon wasn't as strong in his cruelty to 
Harry as he should be. He also seemed to look peaky. Is he not well 
lately? I actually liked Grawp. I thought he was so cute.  I do see 
this was more to the book than the previous film. I do hope they keep 
going with that. Quite a lot they crammed into one movie with a book 
that's huge. I also enjoyed seeing Gambon back to the calmer direct 
Dumbledore. My biggest fear was seeing a much more emotional 
Dumbledore than Harry.

I feel there should have been a final explanation for Harry/Cho 
situation. I didn't like it left open after Snape revealed that she 
was given the truth serum.

I know there's more to say but that's pending a second review. I can 
never really retain it all in one watching. Especially when I was in 
a room that was pumped and excited. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed 
it and will see it again. I'm thinking there are a lot more parts and 
we will most likely see them on DVD.
