Saw HP HBP over the weekend and it's probably the best movie out of all of them so far.

I totally agree that a little more dialogue wouldn't hurt.
I like Ginny, but I think her character is definitely underdeveloped (the Harry/Ginny relationship covers whole encyclopedias compared to the thinness that is the books' take on Tonks/Lupin, though), particularly for a One True Love.
