I don't know why I felt compelled to watch this - mostly 'cause I wanted something fun on in the background while I got some work done. It's a tough film, this one, really just being the second half of something else. Voldemort is kind of a weak villain here. You don't really get a sense of his "plan" - what's he going to do if he wins? What does that mean? Is he going to take over the world? You don't really get a strong sense of it. Is he just going to be pure evil and try to make everyone else likewise? That's my bigger issue with this series, mostly the films, is that we don't get a strong sense of the stakes outside of the typical good Vs. evil and life Vs. death.
That being said the film is a lot of fun, the performances are solid, and it's a grand send-off for the series. I'm really looking forward to exploring this world with my kids when they're old enough.
