While the overall plot was the same, I would say that only 40% of the film was truthful to the book. While I probably will always be known as the book critic that looks for any little detail that has changed, this film changed so many things that I finally looked at my friend and said "This isn't right." Some things include the change where the death of Snape occured, the severe damage that was dealt on Hogwarts, the sneak attack that occured inside the castle, with the film version having Harry disguise as a student to get into the Great Hall, with the Order of the Pheonix shortly behind him. We also see the final scene change greatly. Instead of it starting at the castle entrance, then finishing in the Great Hall, the film starts it at the entrance, then takes it to the top of the castle, then to the clocktower, then back to the entrance where it ends.

Another thing that changed drastically was the end that occured after Voldemort's death. We don't see the celebration occur in the Great Hall, nor do we see the professors return the school colors back on the walls. We then don't see Harry and the gang head up to Dumbledore's office and have one last conversation with his portrait and determine what to do with the Deathly Hallows. We don't see Harry restore his wand with the Elder Wand and then agree to return it to Dumbledore's tomb, nor do we see them discuss about the stone and cloak. Instead, we see Harry break the wand in two and throw it down into the depths. And you would think that they would have talked about the Hallows more since the past two movies were titled "Deathly Hallows."
