va32h:
Having read all your other posts in this group, I seriously suggest you not see the movie at all.  You are probably going to hate it. 

NOTHING that you are expecting is in there. 

It's interesting - as with every other HP film, it wasn't until I left the theater that I even realized it had been over two hours long.  The filmmakers, I think, greatly  underestimate the willingness of this sort of audience to sit through a long move. 

But then again, the longer the movie, the less showings one can fit in the day and the bottom line is always $$$$. 

But Carol, honestly - none of that stuff, the coins, the Hand of Glory, Madam Rosmerta, the Dark Mark over the Astronomy Tower - none of it is even mentioned. 

I look at the films as "a series of dramatized scenes from the book" rather than any attempt to recreate the story on screen. 

We saw it with people who had not read the book and they had no clue what was going on.
