I say this as someone who's been an actual fan of JKR for many years and loved the first film: It was a hot mess. I saw it in theatres and read the screenplay, and I still don't understand half of what was going on.

There were way too many subplots. Leta's story was interesting but unnecessary except as an oh-so-clever red herring just so we could have the BIG REVEAL at the end. Which is a dubious reveal.

My biggest complaint is that I thought we were finally, finally going to get some moral ambiguity, but no, it was the same old good versus evil bullshit with a half-assed (and failed) attempt to make the evil look slicker.

I did enjoy Jude Law's Dumbledore very much, and the mirror scene was beautiful and heartbreaking (and unmistakably gay IMO).

But for the first time in my HP fan life, I have zero interest in the next installment and doubt I'll even buy this one on DVD.
