Let's fight. I object, sir. I thought I was careful not to reveal anything about the Harry Potter movie ending apart from, to the best of my recollection, the following:

a) It ends abruptly (an aesthetic opinion more than a spoiler).
b) It wasn't clear to me whether the school year had ended or not, as it had been in the previous films (can't get more vague than that, fer God's sake)
c) a major character (who I did not name and did not reveal whether he was good or evil) was introduced towards the very end, informing the audience that this film is just one in a series (and give me a break- don't tell me that the fact that the series is still ongoing is a shocker to anyone who knows anything about the Harry Potter books & movies).

Isn't that sufficiently vague? I ran this by Shelly (an avowed HP fan) and she agreed that I didn't really give anything away. And trust me, it is never Shelly's inclination to agree with me on anything movie-related, so that is saying something. But if I'm going to be looked upon as guilty, then what the hell, here goes: Snape slays the dragon and Malfoy steals Hermione's wand. There's the ending.

Relax, relax, I just made that up.
