I couldn't understand why they left so much information out. Like the reason why Harry thought it was his father doing the magic spell and why the spell manifested itself as a stag or what the whole deal with the map was. Oh, and the freeze frame at the end was just dumb.

Man, it's like I wrote those comments... I feel exactly the same way. Where the hell did all that VITAL information go? It's the crux of the story... ugh.  Still enjoyed it though, best of the 3.

I did understand they had to leave out info but some stuff i think needed to be explained like the map why couldn't they have explain harry's dad and friends made it. The book procedes the movie by far I'm curious how long ther're goin' to do the next one b/c it is very in dept.

Maybe they could spilt the next one into 2 parts and realease the 1st in the summer and the 2nd at christmas. Either that or they're going to have to cut out loads of stuff because of time.
