It was good. Brilliant. Probably the closest to the book so far.

Just a few things that bugged me.

(Bit of a spoiler thing going on here, if you're the sort of person who cares about that sort of thing, feel free to stop reading right now.)

I'll start at the end. This was the biggest disappointment. So Malfoy spends the entire movie working on his cabinet to get some Death Eaters into Hogwarts, yes? He freaks out when it doesn't work at first, and has a nervous breakdown. Just like in the book, they go up to the tower, Snape kills Dumbledore, and then THEY ALL LEAVE.

No fighting. No epic Battle of Hogwarts. They just knock out a few windows, kick some stuff off the tables, torch Hagrid's hut and LEAVE. Snape and Harry have their little "fight" and that's it.

WHY WERE THE OTHER DEATH EATERS EVEN THERE? Malfoy was the one who was supposed to kill Dumbledore, Snape was the one who actually did it, but both of them WERE ALREADY IN THE CASTLE.

I suppose it makes sense, probably saving the epic battle for the end of the next one. It has pretty much no effect on the story overall, but it just makes a good quarter of the movie seem entirely pointless.

But enough about that. The rest of the movie was perfect as it was. They made changes from the book, but that was to be expected and they were minor.

All the important stuff was there, even the seemingly unimportant little details. They should have explained the point of the Horcruxes just a bit more. (The book specifically mentions that they are objects of importance to Voldemort, and not just pieces of any old junk.)

On a completely unrelated note, it was funny. Laughs and jokes around every corner. Hagrid getting drunk and Harry tripping balls on the luck potion are particularly worth mentioning.

It was spectacular and great and I would watch it again.

Like, a hundred more times.

Go see it at your earliest convenience.

Aaaaaaaannnndddd...that's about it. See ya next time when I have something journal-worthy.
