The entire purpose of this movie seems to be setting up the next movie. It's long and seems to accomplish very little. I'm sure it will work well as part of a finished series but as a stand alone movie it is lacking some key plot elements. However if you are a fan of the previous films you will still want to see this one and I highly recommend buying all the Potter movies on Bluray!
What's great about it: graphics and special effects are awesome especially on bulray.
What's not so great: Story leaves things feeling unfinished.
