Very very good, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan.
The Good:
There was a lot more Fred and George in this one. Good stuff!
I thought they did a great job condensing the huge amount of material from the book into the film version.
They kept the scene where Malfoy is turned into a ferret. Hooray!
Lucius Malfoy is back. Double hooray! He's awesome as a meanie.
Very nice work with the Triwizard tasks. The dragon chase was especially exciting.
The kids start dating! The various scenes involving all the crushes and hurt feelings and such were nicely done. Subtle, amusing, and not shoved down the audience's throats.
The Bad:
No Dursleys. Oh well.
What is up with Ron's language? He has such a potty mouth. I don't remember him swearing this much in the books. Every other line of dialogue from him is "Bloody hell!" this and "Piss off!" that. Shameful.
The beginning of the movie felt a little choppy. There was too much to do in order to get the story moving, and the scenes just didn't feel like they flowed. But once they got to Hogwarts it got better.
I felt like they glossed over the explanation of what happened when Harry's and Voldemort's wands connected. I think they could have managed to fit one more minute of exposition into the film.
Only one scene with Sirius Black. Poop.
The Ugly:
Lord Voldemort appears!!!! Ahhhhh! And he's Ralph Fiennes! With no nose! Ahhhhh!
