Satisfying, but still disappointng

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2011)

DH Part 2 was adequate and satisfied my need to see how Hollywood finished the set. I give them props for most of the film, especially the "19 years later" epilogue - albeit Albus looked more like Snape than his father.
My major criticism is the same I've had the the James Bond films since the early 60's: why take a more than adequate story and special-effect it to death?
Most vivid example: following the movie I reread the last 30% of the book. Perhaps the most engaging chapter was "The Flaw in the Plan." If the filmmakers had simply used J.K. Rowling's dialogue, the movie would have been a "10"; as it is, most fans will probably be doing as I did - rereading to see if they'd missed something.
Bottom line: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
