Just got back from the latest Harry Potter movie, which probably should have been entitled Harry Potter Cries At His Latest Beatdown.
In this movie, Harry plays a bit of quiddich, experiences teen angst, discovers a couple of clues for shit in later movies, and stands by helplessly as a trusted mentor gets greased by the Cackling Forces of Evil, then cries about it later. Gee, I haven't seen anything like this since THE LAST HARRY POTTER MOVIE.
I haven't read the books, but does this kid ever stop being a wimp? Jesus.

Yes, he does stop being a wimp in a big way in the final book. Read them, you will thank me later.
I saw the movie as well. It did an adequate job compared to the book, especially comparing to the other heaps of shit that were the other movies. One major complaint for the book fans: pointless action scene not from the book in the middle of the movie but no mention of the Gaunts.
And about Harry standing by helplessly, there is a reason for that very well explained in the final book.
