Having been an avid Harry Potter fan, I had high hopes for this movie. I was disappointed. While I knew what was going on from having read the books, I thought it would have been difficult for someone who hadn't read the books to really get into it. Book 6 was so full of dramatic moments that didn't get captured in the film. The ending thoroughly disappointed me---where was Dumbledore's funeral? The lack of Voldemort backstory was disappointing too. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.
