So much promised, so little delivered

This is my favorite book - and least favorite movie.
From the odd opening to the bizarre Christmas sequence to Harry idly standing by while Snape uses the Avada Kedavra, the movie is full of jarring and extraneous scenes that do nothing to set up the epic battle between good and evil in the Deathly Hallows. The wasted minutes could have been used to follow JKR's HBP and set the movie up as a bridge for the two final episodes.
All I have after seeing this movie is a great sense of letdown and little hope that the final two will do justice to a series of books that emphasize the triumph of love, loyalty, hope and the human spirit over the forces of darkness. What a pity to let such an opportunity whimper and choke itself into irrelevance.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
