I'm a little torn by this installement in the Harry Potter series. On the one hand it does a great job of answering quesitons and setting up the final movie. On the other, the beginning was long, the rest was filled with unnecessary tangets, and totally missed interesting plot progressions. They spent too much time on the teenage love stuff and quiddich instead of giving more details on Snape and Tom Riddell. When it came to really important events, the film seemed to skip over them too quickly as if it had spent all its time on totally inanne details and now it had to catch up. Bottom line: you have to see because it sets up the next film and because its Harry Potter, but it's the weakest of the series.
