I agree with Dina on this.  Others had seen PoA before me and said how 
disappointing it was, how it changed the story and left out fundamental 
bits, but I went to see it anyway to make up my own mind.
I think its the best one so far in terms of how the acting has 
improved, and for me it was still very magical, but I do have to 
compartmentalise and not let one cloud my view of the other.(Film cloud 
book and vice versa)  PoA is my favourite book (well, now I've actually 
said that I quite like GoF and I've nearly finished OotP again ...).  
You couldn't possibly fit all the little side stories in, and I think 
with GoF it will be even more disappointing for some "purists".  I like 
to think of them as just another facet to the Harry Potter world, and 
frankly I know the stories so well I can just fill in the blanks!!!
