Out of necessity, the movie is darker than the others. However, it makes up for that with the moments of humor throughout. I very much enjoyed the movie and have plans to see it again. I only have one question of David Yates. The ending is so unlike the story in the book, I wonder how it will all fit in with the Deathly Hallows movies. I would have paid extra and sat a half hour longer for it to be done closer to the book. The being said, it is still my favorite of the 6 movies. I give it 2 thumbs up.
