Good fun. Good fun.

However,

Spoiler:

I thought they gave Ginny short shrift. She had a lot of business in the book, but here she just came off as the girl destined to be the hero's solemn girlfriend.

I thought Dumbledore's dispatch was played too cooly. In the book, it seemed like Dumbledore was a battered old man begging for his life. Now, arguably, in light of what we learned in book seven, perhaps it could be said he was begging for death, but it still had too much of a "Severus, remember what we talked about" feel.

I still have no sense of the wizarding universe. Does the fate of the world really turn on whether Voldemort and a dozen or so punk assed death eaters can get the better of some old professors and a bunch of kids?
