I only read this book once, and that was during that first week it was out, so I don't remember a lot of the details. Maybe that's why I can't find tons of flaws like I can with the other movies :D The lack of explanation of the HBP is my major annoyance with this movie.

Actually, I kind of liked the addition of them showing Malfoy place the birds inside to judge his results -- it showed exactly what he was trying to do without words. Though it also took out any mystery at all about what that part of his mission was. Personally, the Quidditch scenes never do anything for me. I'm glad they cut down the "Weasley is our King" story. I see what you mean with the kiss though -- I guess they moved it because they didn't want to drag the Quidditch stuff out any longer than it was. The cabinet scenes were all right, I think.

What did you think of the Malfoy cabinet scenes we didn't get in the book? They kind of reversed the mystery from the book--the book he was overheard talking, but they didn't know about what. In this, they knew it was something to do with the cabinet, but they didn't know what. Anyway, I always thought Draco's story in HBP was more interesting than Harry's, so I liked seeing more of it here. It was weird that they had Quidditch scenes, but then changed the Harry/Ginny kiss scene to have nothing to do with it. I agree that the Room of Requirement replacement scene didn't quite work for me. I will have to go reread the series soon. Again.

The movies are designed to appeal to as many people as possible, and not actual Harry Potter fans. It's the same problem that plagued Spider-Man 3. That's the reason these things are books first; so people that are interested in character development can get that. The movie versions are for the people that don't read. In any event, boy wizards are dumb. The reason behind the teenage angst is that girls that enjoy angst are the largest demographic in the world.
