I seem to be the only one to intensely dislike this last Harry Potter movie and be very disappointed. I thought the editing was disjointed so that no one storyline got enough development to make it compelling; sophomorish dialogue took away dignity from the young characters growing up eloquently in Rowling’s original. The almost complete absence of mesmerizing music and dramatic effect made this slow. A fantastic group of actors and a mesmerizing book, were wasted.
