I wasn't sure what to expect when I found out the last Harry Potter movie was going to be split into two movies. I didn't quite get what would be in the first movie since I didn't really think a whole lot happened in the first half of the book besides them travelling around.
I was amazed that they managed to turn the first half of the book into something funny and exciting. After intense moments there seems to be a lot of humor to lighten the mood, which works because of the characters.
I've heard a lot of people say they didn't like where the movie ended, but I saw it as very predictable and a good spot to end for the next movie to take off from.
