Like I said, I think the casting was excellent (although Emma Watson was a bit on the forced/wooden side in the beginning).
There is also a side of me that does not want to see parts of the story played out on screen. I took Fred and George's storyline very hard while reading the books and I don't want to "relive" it on video.

For me, Half Blood Prince I thought came closest of any to capturing how it was for me when I read the books. Deathly Hollows Part 1 comes in close, but there are a few things that make me feel a bit not quite the same. The guy who took over the movies with Order of the Phoenix, I think is doing pretty much as good of a job as can be expected, and overall I prefer his movies to the earlier ones. That said, the books are still better.
