I loved the ending. I'm always one to love a fight (Believe, I was 
angry when they didn't have The Arthur-Lucius fight in the movie, but 
i guess with all the kids wathcing, it might not have been a good 
idea to have it in.) In the end, almost all the DA members were down
(Harry being unharmed because of the prophecy). Although the Order 
arriving just in the nick of time was kinda movie-ish.
