Good riddance.

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2014)

The series ends, at last. Good riddance. (Until JK Rowling needs money, I guess).
The first Harry Potter was interesting, and good fun. Much of this was due to the novelty of it all. The first Harry Potter introduced us to the characters and concepts of the series.
The second used that template and provides another plot. The plot was fairly mundane and overwrought. At nearly three hours it was ridiculously long for a linear plot-driven kid's adventure story.
This is all said, there was a momentum that kept it going. There were some new concepts and characters. All this was enough to make it marginally likable.
By the third, however, it was a tired formula. From then on it was all about gouging more money from kids and nerds.
Rating for this last one should be lower, but it gets a bonus point for finally ending this seemingly-never-ending, sequels-for-the-sake-of-more-money series.
