they did miss out alot of important things, like in the first film, the midnight duel between harry and draco. that annoyed me :I
but yeah, i agree they did do a good job with getting 7 books into 8 films
They did do a good enough job working that long story into the movies.....the only one I was dissatisfied with was the sixth. Not only did it differ way too much from the book, but it added in a whole new scene. Instead of making time to work in all those crucial details, they left them out in favor of a scene that never happened. And they neglected to mention the Gaunts, Voldemort's connection to that ring, or the fact that Voldemort rquested a teaching job.
Although, would it have killed them to take an extra 30 seconds in that last movie to explain that Harry didn't die because his blood in Voldemort's veins kept his mother's protection alive? I mean, maybe he was a Horcrux, but even so, he'd have died fully if Voldemort hadn't taken his blood. The movie never explained that, and I thought it was important.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Plus, the Burrow was in perfect condition in the 7th movie, so WTH? Unless they repaired it by magic...still, if they can repair it by magic, then why would they be so upset about it in the movie? Because if they could fix it by magic, then they would just be like, "Oh, no big. I'll just point my wand at it and make it good as new!"
Come to think of it, there's an Aguamenti charm. So why did they just stand there staring up at the burning house?

Yeah, I was mad that they added in a scene where the Burrow was burned, but they couldn't go into detail on the things that actually happened and were vtal to the story.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
In the movie, they never mentioned that the ring contained the Resurrection Stone. Because how did Dumbledore get ahold of the Resurrection stone if it wasn't in the ring? They didn't go into enough detail on the ring in the movie...or in any of the memories, like when Voldemort came and asked for a teaching job, and that was when he hid the diadem at Hogwarts.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
yeah, there's meant to be hundereds of house elves at hogwarts and during the battle the zerg rush the death eaters wearing buckets and pans for armour and they all have knives and forks and other utensils and attack the death eaters with them, i guess they didn't include it because it would be hilarious
she was meant to have taken part in the battle of hogwarts so she might have died, it's a shame they don't feature the house elves of hogwarts taking part in the battle, because kreacher became a hero for stabbing somebody in the shins. lawl
I did go to see the Harry Potter exibit in NYC, so I found out some interesting stuff there...you know what character I'm hoping to see more of with Pottermore? Filch.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
and J.K said that mrs. norris is just a really annoying cat, which sucks, because i'd like to see her be a secret animagus person thing.
i totally can't wait for pottermore to be open to the public. it opens in october i believe. so, only two months-ish
i think J.K said officially that crookshanks is part kneazle, and mrs. figg (harry's neighbor at privet drive) breeds cat/kneazle crossbreeds. though mrs.norris (filch's cat) isn't even though she seems like she is.
also, have you heard about pottermore? and if yes, did you sign up/get your email of acceptance for it?
if you've not heard about it, it's like a little harry potter RP thing J.K set up

Excellent, another Hogwarts student! I myself am a proud Gryffindor...a cat who is part Kneazle, hmm? There's been some speculation that Hermione's cat is part Kneazle because he is so smart and he saw Sirius and Peter for who they really were...but because I'm allergic to cats, I'd have an owl and a toad, and I'd be sure to keep the two of them separated.
I think my Patronus would prabably be a deer.

Well, maybe because the "duel" never actually happened. It was just a trap to lure Harry into trouble.

Yes, I've heard about it...but no, I was away from home when they did the early acceptance/magical quill thing!
So, now I have to wait...and I'm so impatient!
My dad thought Mrs. Norris would turn out to be Madam Pince in Animagus form...though sadly, that theory does not work with the second book...
