Pretty much what you said, Mel. Enormous chunks and subplots were removed wholesale from the film, yet the film carried the main themes very, very well, advancing Harry's overall tale and dialing up the intensity of the series in the bargain.
Rowling is said to be intentionally skewing the successive books toward an older and older audience, aiming at keeping the kids who started out with Harry interested.
Good movie, well done. It did not seem as long as it was.
