See, I found I LOVED the first viewing unconditionally, but saw more to miss/more to dilike on the second viewing. However, I still understand all the cuts. I mean, Fred and George taking bets is still an in character thing to do, even if the audience don't know what it's for. I have to be honest and say I didn't really miss the storylines they cut, but I will always say that you can't understand the films without having read the books, but despite that to think of them as completely seperate entities.

Seeing it for the third time tomorrow, here's hoping it's just as good, if not better! ;)
