This movie was disappointingly flat and full of unnecessary and irrelevant material. For those who have read the book, it was almost insulting. I kept waiting for the sparks, the energy, the intrigue, the intensity that are all so critical to the power of the Harry Potter books. The actors are all capable; the directing was abysmal.
The ending was perhaps the biggest let down (maybe because I kept hoping, even until the end, that it would get better). It didn't.
I truly wish that someone other than Yates would be directing the last two films. He has butchered this interpretation of the book. Where is Rowling's hand? Someone needs to pay attention!!!
