No. I read the book (actually reading the series again for the 5th or 6th time right now) and realized that what I saw on screen was as good as anything I'd ever get. It ranked below the first one but as a standalone film, it'd be still awesome. People don't seem to like The Matrix Reloaded but it's because the first one set impossible standards. The second did a great job and it still provided a lot of fun and entertainment. I think that the problem with the Harry Potter movies is that WB is DELIBERATELY trying to cash in on the franchise whereas movies like LotR is the result of the hard work of a relatively unheard of director who just wanted to tell a classic story well and with conviction. If we could get someone like that to do Harry Potter, then perhaps we'd have something worth watching a second time around.
