This film is presented well and is filled with spectacular special effects. One person posted a comment that she was disappointed about the bathtub scene when Moaining Myrtle joined Harry in the tub. While that was NOT in the book one must remember that movies are BASED UPON a story or novel and that while the premise of the story stays the same, a director has a certain amount of liberty that he/she can take to make the story more appealing on a visual level.
If one is not thrilled that a film does not follow the book to the letter, then it is best to read the book and create your own image of the scene in your mind.
To me, this movie is the best so far as for visual effects but I think of the series, to date, the Prisoner if Azkaban was the best all around film adaptation of the book.
All the performers are excellent, Radcliff, Grint, and Watson put 100% forth and the adult cast are always superior especially Maggie Smith (Prof. McGonnagle) Enjoy these films and don't nit-pick the details. After all how well could YOU do if asked to direct the next film?
