I watched the previous 5 shortly before going to the theater to watch this one last weekend
and it's definitely not the best of the 6. I don't even think it's top 5 in the 6.

I'm not really a Potter fan, took the sisters to see it.
Pretty slow and not much really happened IMO...
Spoilers!!!
For someone who is supposed to be such a badass Harry sure gets his arse kicked at the end.....Was expecting some sort of battle scene after Dumbeldor gets murdered....But Harry just gets knocked on his arse 3 times and thats it.

FWIW I thought is was a good Harry Potter flick and everyone in the audience seemed to think so too.

The movie was garbage. I felt the director tried to make it a love story instead of capturing the plot of the book. Book 6 was not great, but it did fill in the backstory of Tom Riddle and Snape. The movie did not come close. Hell, the movie is title HBP and they barely touched on the subject of the book.

i liked it

True, we find out who the HBP is, but what exactly does that mean and why is it significant. Guess I'll have to read the books if I want to find out.

Very apparent theme through all the books if you read them you wouldn't be surprised and or disappointed by this in the movie.

in the book, dumbledor stunned potter before snape killed him so he couldn't do anything. Once he died (that released harry) there was a huge battle scene through hogwarts, that was the highlight of the books. Snape does own him, but he does a pretty good job getting to him. The ending of the movie dropped the ball compared to the book

And by what logic was this left out of the movie? This could have been a great scene.
Harry Potter is not a powerful wizard, overall, by the way. He is only powerful in one type of magic.

they didn't want it to compete with the battle in part 2 of the 7th book which is completely stupid

meh, he is more powerful than the book gives him credit for and is (from my impression of the book) the most powerful one at hogwarts, at least when it comes to defense against the dark arts.

I liked it. It did drop the ball at the end taking out he fight scene, but I did think it brought more comedy to the table than your usual HP movie. I laughed a fair bit.

i liked the movie, but there was 0 reason to change the ending to the book. It changes everything having harry not stunned IMO, and the fight scene would have made the movie completely legit

I assume Dumbeldor was just weak from drinking that fluid in the cave thats why he just got owned by Snape correct?

no, you'll find out in the 7th movie
in the book, they get back and the dark mark is already over the school. He was weak when he got there, but seeing the mark rejuvenated him. He stunned harry and talked malfoy down, then snape came and blasted him away freeing harry. Harry chased after him, a huge fight happened throughout hogwarts. Harry got through and then tried to attack snape
making harry free changes the way you view him. In the book he was trying to fight off the spell to save dumbledor. There was also a very good scene (funeral) that should have been on the end.
the fight was awesome in the book, and included the teachers fighting them off as well as the werewolf

This is actually a major problem. The book is very dark and there is a sense that everything is on the edge of disaster for the good guys. The book goes into Riddle's bloodline and why he became so evil. The movies was all about teenage hormones.
Also, they never tell you why Snape was called teh Half-Blood Prince. The movie was bullshite.

the end of the 3rd, 4th and the entier 5th, 6th, and 7th books are dark and makes for a much better read IMO. They should have made the movie 20 minutes longer and added in the ending from the book.
The burrow attack was in the 7th book
