I've enjoyed all of the Harry Potter movies, including this one, but not "especially" this one. This final movie had the immense burden of wrapping up a long and complicated saga.

I won't give anything away here for those who have not seen it, but I was surprised as to how it all wrapped up. I must say that I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more depth and complexity to this movie given that there were in the previous ones.

It had a lot of relevant material needed for the story to end, but I felt like it fizzled. "The one whose name should not be spoken" turned out some very Junior Varsity magic and showed little organization skills for an evil overlord. Harry showed some real grit and maturity. It was nice to see it, but don't wait to be wowed.

Very slow, almost boring, in the first part of the show. It picked up later, but still wasn't what I had thought it would be. I have seen all the movies in the series and am a big fan, but the last one is not the best of them.
