Harry Potter... at a different view

The new Harry Potter movie was much different from the other 3! At first I kept expecting it to fall into the format, or atleast close to, that of the first three movies. I probably missed some things in the first 15 minutes becuase I was so distracted by the fact that it was directed completely different! However, by the end of the movie I found myself being pulled into the intensity of the action. There were a lot of things missing from the book! It was a bit confusing, even for those of us who have read the book! My husband, who has never read #4, said he could tell that there were things missing. It was good, intense, but not long enough to really fill in the story.
