I was crazy enough to go see the last Harry Potter movie on Saturday night. I went by myself to the 9:30pm showing, which if you know me, is way past my normal bedtime. I paid for it yesterday, as did my family. I don't think I'll do that kind of thing again.
In a nutshell, I thought it was a strong finish and I enjoyed it thoroughly. 4 stars out of 5.
I have to add two things:
1) Ads before the movie are always annoying. However, there was one commercial that was surprising and totally inappropriate given the target audience of Harry Potter. Cynical Nymph over-analyzes the commercial just a tad (in terms of the overarching theme of it), but sums it up pretty well. From the Facebook comments (and the comments at the CN's post) I've seen, it looks like this ad was shown at all showings of HP. Bad form.
2) This is awesome. The pictures/captions accompanying it are fantastic. Hilarious.

It definitely wasn't shown with all the screenings. I know of at least one theater in Miami that was spared it. However, judging from my own traffic, it looks like the ad was playing pretty much throughout the country. I seem to have a lot of people finding the post from Greece and Sweden, too, but I don't know if they sell Summer's Eve there??
FYI, a commenter on my post found a link to the ad itself and I updated with that link.
Thanks for commenting, Cynical Nymph. And for the heads up about the commercial link.
I wonder if the theater owners opted not to run the ad in those few instances?
