I find it somewhat intriguing that there's no thread to discuss this movie here, especially considering the attention some plotless blockbusters get (Transformers 3 being a good example).
Although I'm not a kid, or even a young adult, I started reading the HP books because my oldest daughter told me I would like it (I'm a huge Tolkien fan, she thought it should be similar
).
Well, HP is no Bilbo Baggins and JKRowling is no JRR Tolkien, but I found the books to be good enough to make me read all of them. And, the last two of the series ("Half Blood Prince" and "Deathly Hallows") I found to be quite good books, both in their storyline structure and in their "inner" quality about what values, choices, principles, sacrifices and overall the sense that there is good and there is evil, there is also lots of in-between ... well, my basic English doesn't allow me to say more, but you get the picture. They're not "black&white" simple kids stories, quite the contrary.
Of course the movies were condensed from the books, and lots was lost. Also, starting with 11 year-old kids as leading characters meant that you wouldn't be able to have the BEST of the BEST actors throughout the series.
But in the end, and all things considered, I regard the collection of movies to be a decent effort by WB, certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
Speaking of actors, it was a pity that Richard Harris died after 2 movies, I had and have HUGE respect for his work and also think his portrayal of Dumbledore (even if we only saw the "fatherish-Dumbledore" when HP had 11 and 12 years) was better than the current one became. And I do know Richard Harris could turn very DARK also, so I'm suyre he would be a great Dumbledore in the later-darker movies.
Anyway, I'm very much interested in watchiing the last HP movie, are you? Are you not? Why?
Just for the fun, here the trailers released by WB:
