It's my favorite novel so I guess I could complain about the changes (as a kid on the way out was about the Burrow Christmas attack), but I think that their adaptations were well chosen and only enhanced the story. Turning a 600 page novel into a completely faithful movie is silly; it's what made Watchmen so unwatchable. I like that they changed it from a sort of mystery novel is-Draco-a-Death-Eater? into a dual narrative of the trio seeing to their business and Draco doing what he has to. I think perhaps they introduced too little of Tom Riddle, because the things Harry learns under Dumbledore are absolutely crucial to his being able to defeat Voldemort in The Deathly Hallows, but this is definitely the best one yet. As Zach said, if you took all the best parts from the previous five and made them a movie, they wouldn't be better than this one.

The End to an Incidentally Year Long Hiatus
There was no reason for that year long hiatus except laziness and lack of an interesting life, which isn't exactly true but covers most of the bases.…

Somewhere In The Clouds, There's You
I'm moving home on December 9. I sort of feel like a huge bum for trying to move out to California and failing, but also I feel really excited to be…

Sometimes You Don't Realize What You've Done
I woke up at 10:30 today because I was having a terrifying dream. It was an alien invasion dream which clearly had elements of Signs in it because…
