For Potter fans it is not disappointing. Lots of great interplay between the 3 main characters, lots of spells, magic, witchcraft, evildoers, chases and strange elves (reminiscent of Golum fro Lord of the Rings). Fantastic cinematography and effects, lots of fun - and at over 2.5 hours, plenty of bang for the buck. And this is just part 1 of the finale.
