I have seen all the previous Harry Potter movies and thought they were fantastic. However, this one leaves much to be desired. The excitement and pace does not match those shown before. There were several places where the movie became too much of a trauma-drama which may have be done purposely in order to have a part 2. Had the pace been as usual, the movie could have been slightly lengthened and there would not be any need for part 2 but, then, the producers would not make as much money.
