..well honestly thats a bit harsh. Allow me to backtrack.
Do you read the books? Better question. Did you read the books before the movies were announced? Then you will probably be bored here. Whats wrong?
-We're frickin four years in..we don't need to be amazed by the magic..and Harry certainly doesn't need to be constantly amazed by the magic.
-I fault the source material for being a little too descriptive and long winded, but the movie doesn't have to follow. Thats why it's an adaptation..you can take a little creative liscense and leave some stuff out instead.
-are the Death Eaters just the klan? Because those guys are laughable.
-The biggest problem with this, and every HP movie, is that the people involved do so little to adapt to film that sitting through this and knowing what is coming up a complete chore. It's as if you have already seen the movie before you watch it.
On a technical level, acting, directing, and everything else is good to go. The biggest plus this series has is it's ability to find actors that fit the roles perfectly. The source material isn't as compelling as let's say LOTR to make this series one to keep coming back to. I can't fault this for being a bad movie, and if this is the only way you know the series, you will probably be sufficiently entertained. Otherwise, I can't recommend this. The wow factor of seeing how they could possibly translate this into a movie is about all it has going for it. 7.8/10
