The movie was remarkably accurate to the book. Of course given the nature of film, it was impossible to capture every moment of the book, but what it did adapt, it adapted with great faithfulness. Few scenes were changed and those that were were not that significant.

It even used the third-person view of the movie to its great benefit, by creating new scenes featuring President Snow and Plutarch Heavensbee. It's similar to how the first movie greatly expanded on Seneca Crane's character.

Because of these, I must say that it's a very smart adaptation, possibly the smartest I've ever seen. The Potter movies were very good, but they were tonally different from the books, which you may or may not like (I liked them). On the other hand, The Hunger Games movies were almost exactly like how I pictured them in my head reading the books, and that is really remarkable in my opinion.
