Okay but unsatisfactory

Let me start off with what I did actually like about this film...the cinematography in this movie is absolutely beautiful. It definitely pays off to shoot on site for such a wonderful result. The digital effects (such as the house elves) far surpassed those in, really, any other harry potter movie. They don't serve to themselves, rather they actually help move the story along very well.
The beginning started off very strong, however within the first 15 minutes it became apparent to me that David Yates as a director hadn't actually improved.
The movie itself wasn't terrible, but there were several scenes in this film that didn't serve the plot of the story whatsoever. While the book readers and some movie goers will know is that there is supposed to be chemistry between Ron and Hermionie. However with the constant hugging, leaning, and what not, it seems that David Yates is trying to build up something between Harry and Hermionie too much.
This leads me to my next comment. Every actor in this movie has improved! But in every scene where there is supposed to be this emotional, tense, practically agonizing build up or event the characters seem to only get halfway there and the viewer can't help but be left in this state of being robbed of the scenes climax. This has happened in the past as well (Harry Potter 6 and 5) What this effects is the entirety of the film! Frankly, I sat there in the theatre bored out of my mind because nothing was building between the characters at all.
I don't recommend this for people who haven't read the books...or really for people who have. Parts of it were fun, but they are outweighed by the lagging flow overall.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
