Enjoyment level lower then expected

Well, it looks like WB decided to save some money on production of this one. They probably thought: "Hey, the fans are addicted already, they'll go see it anyway." So, they cut some corners. What a shame! It is understandable that the book is too big to fit into one movie, but cutting plot lines and abbreviating should still produce logically complete picture. But this one -- looks like they overdid it with the cutting. It looked like they made it a set of visual illustrations for the book. Spectacular, but incomplete and quite incomprehensible without reading it.
For example, what that with Barty Crouch Sr.? So, HP found him in the woods, either dead or unconscious, and then what? Did he say to anybody about it or just left him there? The next scene Harry walks into Dumbledore's office like nothing happened.
Overall, I'm little disappointed. It felt like it was too short, just sort of extended teaser. Where's the real movie then?
