An okay ending

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2011)

I have the disadvantage of not reading the books or seeing the movies from age 12 to 18 or anything like that. I saw all the movies in a week and then waited two more to see this in theaters. I was invited to see it at the midnight release with some friends who were all die hard fans of the series.
I'll be honest and say that my predictions for the ending were very off to what actually happened. I was hoping Harry would not only get into a relationship with Hermione but would kiss sometime near the end. And that Ron would just sort of either find someone else or just be happy 'single'. I also excepted to see a lot of epic battles and a final epic battle that would sum up these many years of hard work and danger in the guy's life.
Instead, Ron kisses Hermione and they don't even do a close up. Then the epic battle at the end didn't seem to reach full potential. As I read on the message board on here, the ending wasn't that great. There was almost no dialogue between Harry and he-who-must-not-be-named. And in the end, it seemed that the snake being killed was what got him.
Then after this epic battle, it doesn't show much to congratulate Harry at all. The Lord of the Rings ending is a good example. I didn't even cry. Then as someone mentioned, it shows Rom and Hermione holding hands. Oh my goodness! But despite these negative notes, I was very impressed with the special effects. I was happy to see the movie and wonder if indeed there will be future movies...
Rated 8/10
