Remember to look at the rules newbies. I am curious to hear about the movie and whether or not I should wait for it to come out on DVD. I have heard that movie differs from the book. By how much?

There is a generous amount of information left out of the movie that was captured in the pages.
We missed the meeting with Fudge and the Prime Minister {and Scrimgeour, which was needlessly absent from the entire movie, but will be played by Bill Nighy in Deathly Hallows).
Dumbledore's meeting with the Dursley's was also left out, and could have given more closure to the torturous relationship revolving Harry inside the Dursley household.
There was no mention of the upcoming marriage between Fleur and Bill, and the only time we get to see the Burrow, it is up in flames (a bit of poetic licence taken here on the part of Director Yates).
We don't meet up with Draco and his mother at Madame Malkin's before the Hogwarts Express, but we do get to see Snape's house on Spinners End, and the Unbreakable Vow made therein. We see a bit of Borgin and Burkes, but not the mysterious Vanishing Cabinet (later, we do see a much more creative enmeshment of Draco's struggles in making the portal between the two work. That bird was adorable, expecially accompanying our sleeky blonde impetus).
We completely skip over the House of Gaunt, but we see the ring throughout the movie as it couples the vile Riddle diary. However, Hufflepuff's Goblet is completely smoothed over. Perhaps we shall see it in Deathly Hallows?
Kreacher was ignored completely in the film, as was Dobby, so their role in tailing Draco was ignored.
Professor Trewlawney doesn't appear anywhere in Dumbledore's last night, nor do we see the White Tomb or the Phoenix's Lament (something I personally was looking forward to).
All in all, I think Director Yates cut out anything not absolutely essential to uncover the plot of the Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, set on tabling off anything that could be explained later in the movies and shirking anything not of utmost importance. With that in mind, I also think, for many HP fans, the movie may have become more media-driven than the earlier films were, so as to appeal to more viewers content on ignoring the literary value the books can bring to the rhetoric landscape.

I totally agree with you. While the movie is good the director cut out alot of important parts out of the movie. If you want to see the movie at all I would re read the book and see if you are OK with all the changes the director made. But saying all that the movie is good even witgh all the changes and I strongly encourage you to see it

You enjoyed it? Really?
I mean I suppose I did, once I calmed down. In hindsight, really.
I spent the majority of the movie going "WTF MAN? OH MY GOD. WHAT? IT'S IN FLAMES? WHERE THE HELL DID THIS RAGING FIRE COME FROM? DO YOU SEE THIS? HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS?" and pointing at the screen while throwing about random objects. I actually called my bestfriend in China simply to go "Did I like ... miss a gigantic raging fire in the books? Like did I just MISS that entire part because I'm pretty sure I don't remember a GIANT RAGING FIRE in the books, man". I then told her I loved her and hung up. Best phone call ever.
Most of all, I suppose, I'm sad to see the Dursley/Dumbledore seen go. I think that just says so much, truly.

Hello, I'm new. And I'm with you KT, it's lucky that the theater wasn't packed because my husband and I spent most of the movie exclaiming in annoyance at the amount of innaccuracies the movie had. It was terrible, and I'd only everwatch it again because it's linked to HP in some way.
I mean, who was the waitress in the diner at the beginning? And did Hermione actually get drunk, hanging off of Harry and Ron as they walked back to the school? Too many disappointments to list, really.
