Frankly, since OTP was what I thought the least of the series so far, I’m glad that they were able to make good movie out of it.

I was rather impressed with the way they distilled the 800+ page book into a movie running a little over two hours. They got the main plot lines in very effectively (I cannot say that I missed the Quidditch sub-plot.)

Of course, that zero screen time was spent on explanation helped. I guess the producers figured that everyone in the audience had both read the books and seen the previous movies and hence would know who was who and what was going on without having it spoonfed to them.
