A lot of the early plot development is hidden in difficult to read issues of the daily prophet. Once they get to Hogwarts everything should settle down. The young romance relationships are the main crux of the film and those are lucid and well developed. The flashbacks to Tom Riddle clearly explain Voldemort's past and the meaning and purpose of a horcrux, which sets up the finale. They might be confused as to what Draco is doing, sulkng in the corridors, but the ending should answer any questions, except those still left to be answered in the final two films. It's better to just go with the film moment by moment rather than thinking about it as a whole. The Potter franshise doesn't work the same way that Lord of the Rings did. That series represented three parts of a whole. Each film was really only a third of the final product. Each Potter film is a seperate film, and since they weren't designed as a whole, confusion on some level is inevitable. I still feel that the humor, suspense, and action in this particular entry compensate for any plot holes lost in adaptation.

I have read the entire book series, and I am going to see this movie. Some of my friends that I was planning to go with have not read the series, and complained about not knowing what was going on in the past 2 movies. Is this a valid concern with this installment?
