I'm a huge fan of the books. I started reading them when I was 12... and am incredibly attached. I think the movies are also fantastic. They are the best novel-to-film adaptations I've ever come across... it would be pretty hard manipulating the Harry Potter books into film and I think they've done a pretty good job.

I like the Half-Blood prince. The only complaints I have are:

1 - Way too much Twilight-esque teen romance lame humour stuff.

2- Harry doesn't mourn for the death of Sirius (instead he checks his breath is okay as he attempts to pick up a girl at a cafe).

3- Not enough scenes on Vodlemort/ Tom Riddle's past (e.g. they cut out the scene where Tom kills 7 people and then comes back to Hogwarts to ask Dumbledore for a job)

4- No funeral for Dumbledore.

Otherwise, I thought it was really good. I love the actors that were cast (especially Slughorn!) and I just really enjoyed it and thought it was a pretty good adaptation.
