This was the best Potter yet, in my opinion. Was I annoyed by the fact that the filmmakers didn't want to overshadow the epic final battle, so they cut this battle and added an attack on the Burrow for no apparent reason except to make the watchers know the danger they all face? Yes.
Was I disappointed in the development of characterization, especially in the younger kids who change from movie to movie? Yes.
Was I really annoyed with the fact that they basically cut most of the information that Dumbledore gave Harry about what he's going to have to do to off Voldemort? Very much so.
However, I think it was the best dialogue for the movies thus far, gave a good sense of what was going on in the wizarding world without spending too much time on the gloom and doom and was hilariously funny at times.
I liked it, but I still had problems with it. However, I had fewer problems with this one than most of the other ones. I think the series as a whole would have been better if they had hired one director and held him to doing the entire series. There's a reason why the Lord of the Rings movies (and I'm sure the Hobbit will be as well) are so much superior to the HP movies - because Peter Jackson had a vision and didn't change everything around every movie.
