I liked the movie for what it is, a movie to pass the time on a rainy afternoon.

Unfortunately, the story is not that great. And with an avalanche of similar themed movies recently, this one really needed to shine to stick its head out above the rest. Don't expect too much of it. One known actress doesn't make a good movie, so don't blame one person for the script etc. Still worth seeing if you're invited by someone else to see it.

The end of the movie could have been with a bit more suspense I thought.

It seems that this is a go-between movie. There are a lot of moments in the movie where they look back on things already happened in previous episodes. With this movie works up to a confrontation with Voldemort in a later episode.

The HP franchise falls victim to so many of its counterparts (series of movies), it can not keep up the quality of some of the earlier episodes. Also the main characters are getting a bit too old for their role. This will be even more so in following episodes.

Thanks to all the hype this movie will be a success, but it will leave a lot of its viewers with a sense that there was something lacking.
