The problem with breaking the books into multiple movies is that (I'm assuming) the books don't necessarily have a logical breaking point in the middle.

Heck, in most of the movies it seems like by Christmas break they have barely made it to the beginning of whatever the point of that book is.

But this is why beloved books are almost never appreciated as movies (and why the majority of well regarded book adaptations are of rarely read books). Where you're unhappy that things got cut out or dropped I am just left unhappy because it is frequently obvious that something got cut out or dropped.

One of William Goldman's books has a great chapter on the difficulty of movie adaption using his work on Misery as an example. I wonder if it was a mistake to have Rowling adapt her own books since it must be very difficult to make the important decisions.
