I think that this is the real low point in the film series so far. While Jim Broadbent was excellent and it was satisfying to receive more bits of story related to Tom Riddle, the screenplay was a dud that left me wondering how the creators could not have realized its deficiencies. As the reverse of previous films where they had too much story and not enough time to tell it, HBP laboriously stretched 90mins at most of solid story over 2hrs33mins with no sense of climax or reveal. I left confused and unsatisfied. I know I'll watch this movie again, but not because I enjoyed it the first time. I'll watch it on DVD (not in theaters again) because I want to understand WTF this movie was about.
