Perhaps a more interesting storyline to bring the two movies together would be to have Harry make out with Hermione only to find out in the next movie that she is his sister...oh, wait, that's been done.

I spent ten years in the Navy and we had an expression called "hurry up and wait" to describe being in a rush to get somewhere only to not get to do anything for a while. Even worse, on the ship or on base, there was a line for practically anything from eating chow to buying something from the store. My Navy experience is probably the foremost reason I eschew lines. I was a youngin' when the first Star Wars came out, which I saw on during the first week it was open and also saw Empire and Jedi the same way. After the disappointment of the first prequel (Jar Jar Binks--what's that all about?), I haven't bothered seeing the other two.

I can see getting in line early to score tickets to a one-time sporting event or the concert-of-a-lifetime, but going through all that effort to see something that you can watch the next day and the next day and the next day (and so on) seems kind of silly to me.
