Overall a pleasantly enjoyable adaptation of the book. A lot of material had to be cut in order to make the movie a tolerable length (most of the Rita Skeeter plot disappeared, and Percy Weasley is completely absent). But, my first reaction was just a sort of amusement at how people imagine things differently. For instance, the “pensieve” (the container that holds Dumbledore’s thoughts) that I imagine is more of a space than a physical object. And somehow Dumbledore should be a bit softer around the edges.
