Good two hours ... bad fiteen minutes

The first two hours were pretty enjoyable. Well worth waiting for.
But the ending ... what was up with the ending? It's like going to a fireworks show, expecting a blazing finale, and getting ... two guys with sparklers.
I'm OK with "suspending disbelief" while watching movies. Especially with movies like these: it's part of the deal. I'm OK with the compromises and changes necessary to bring a book to film. But the book ending is such a brilliant combination of emotions and adrenaline, yet the movie just sort of fades away. "Please." bang. Walk away. Break a window. Cast a couple weak spells. Harry just stands there, and the rest of the school is empty. Dead ... like the ending.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
